This was one of our favorite activities in Japan. We experienced the thrill of preparing and cooking ramen and gyoza. Even better was eating the dishes which were cooked to perfection. Our chef was a fantastic instructor and made sure that we got it right and his assistant was the perfect cheerleader. Whether you are a novice or expert cook, I recommend this as a great way to spend an afternoon in Japan.

Wonderful hands-on experience ❤️ LOVED IT!!! Delicious dinner prepared by our hands. Keigo (instructor) was super nice and explained every step clearly.
Juat know that the LOCATION is a bit difficult to find. It is next to a store that sells sweets. All you see from the street are 2 black doors. Next, you press a code to call the apartment upstairs and you will take the elevator to the 6th floor.
Overall, a fabulous experience!!

This was a fantastic end to our amazing trip to Japan. Great experience and who knew making Ramen and Gyoza was so easy - it definitely was with our hosts from Sakura Cook.
A really fun experience which I’d definitely recommend.

Our ramen and gyoza cooking class with Keigo was one of our favorite excursions in Japan! Not only did we learn how to make two of our favorite foods, but we finally learned the secrets behind dough texture - why some doughs (like my empanada and pasta doughs) end up too stretchy or not stretchy enough.
Keigo shared so many helpful techniques and tricks throughout the class, including one that involved using your feet!
The class was hands-on, engaging, and full of practical tips we can actually use at home. Best of all, the meal we created was absolutely delicious. Keigo was delightful, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He did a fantastic job explaining the techniques. This was a memorable and delicious.

Had an amazing time during this cooking class. The instructors were patient and very helpful. They capture photos for you during the experience and send as a Google Drive at the end of the class which was an unexpected surprise. I would definitely recommend!

AMAZING!!! Fumi and Risa were the most amazing teachers with a great sense of humor!
We were a family of 8 with our age ranges from 9 years to 86 years and everyone had a great time.
The studio is incrediblely clean and organized, the class is easy to follow, fun, and ver organized with printed steps for you to take home. Everyone got to participate and the meal was amazing.
Everyone wanted to do another class with the ladies. Arigato!

We were in Osaka for the last day of our 16 day Japan vacation and had booked this cooking class. So glad we did. We wanted to take in as much as possible of authentic experiences in Japan and really felt like this experience fit the bill. There was a group of 5 of us on this tour and we all had a great time. The cooking instructors seemed truly interested in making sure that we were all involved and understood how to make gyoza and Ramen from scratch. Prior to the class I hadn't realized how much is actually involved! We took lots of pictures for the memories and the best part was that once we were done we were able to enjoy a great meal. 😀
Although the directions to getting to the place were clear, it was still a little difficult for us to find the exact place to get to as it was kind of through a hallway next to another shop and up an elevator.
Overall, would highly recommend if you have a few hours to spend in Osaka.

Amazing cooking class in Japan. Very easy to book, there was openings the week before. The instructor offers other classes as well. Instruction began at the basics and was step by step to the final result. Very fun kneading dough and cooking. Also appreciated that they gave us printed recipes so we can recreate the meal. My partner and I love ramen and gyoza and so happy we know how to make it now!

Keigo and Risa were fantastic hosts and made our ramen and gyoza cooking class in Osaka an absolute highlight of our trip. They were warm, friendly, and explained every step clearly in excellent English. We learned how to make authentic ramen from scratch and fold delicious gyoza, and the whole experience was fun, interactive, and incredibly well organised. Their passion for Japanese food and culture really shone through. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Osaka.

The class was very well run, structured and enjoyable. Keigo was an excellent tutor and ably supported by Risa. It was a fun way to learn how to prepare ramen and make gyozas, to enjoy the fruits of our labours and meet ‘would be chefs’ from other parts of the world!

A great cooking experience full of explanation about the ingredients and Japanese way of preparing and cooking food. The experience was highly efficient with simple explanation of each step in English. We sat down for a very tasty, plentiful meal at the end which we had created and cooked ourselves. Perfect family experience. Thanks

Highly recommend this class for vegetarians and meat eaters alike! Our instructor (Keigo) was super accommodating for our dietary restrictions (vegetarian) and provided soy meat instead and gave detailed tips on how to best prepare them at home. He took pictures of us that he sent later and was very friendly as well. It’s a good way to slow down from busy travel and take a permanent souvenir away with you!

Great class - knowledgeable and engaging and patient instructor, great results! A fun way to get to know the food and culture of Osaka.

This was a really fun family activity! And the food that we prepared was really good too! Even for Americans :). Our guide / chef taught us well and took fun pictures for us.
The only difficulty was finding the location - not easily marked and no instructions on how / where to go once we got there!
Katherine_M, Mar 2026
I made some wonderful food some of it I would re-create at home and it was more than I could eat. It was a great experience.
Kaitlyn_K, Mar 2026
We had the most amazing experience at this ramen and gyoza cooking class tonight! There were four of us (two couples), and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.
Chef Kiego was absolutely fantastic — fun, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly, taught us authentic techniques, and made the entire experience interactive and relaxed. We learned so much about the ingredients and the process behind making real ramen and perfectly crispy gyoza.
The food was outstanding — truly some of the best ramen we’ve had, and knowing we made it ourselves made it even better.
If you’re visiting Japan and want a hands-on, memorable food experience, this class is a must. Highly recommend!

Thank you very much.

This was a really great fully hands on experience hosted by an actual chef so even very capable home cooks will learn great tips and tricks during the session. Keigo spoke excellent English and he was very funny and entertaining. Highly recommend this experience. It was one of the best things we did in Japan!
