My partner and I had an amazing time at this ramen and dumpling making class. The instructors were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the process very beginner-friendly. We loved making everything from scratch. It was so satisfying to see everything come together, and even better to sit down and enjoy the meal afterward. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious—honestly some of the best ramen we’ve ever had. Highly recommend this experience!

We had the best time learning about how to make delicious ramen and gyoza! Yoshi was friendly and so informative. The intimate setting made it comfortable to make mistakes and ask questions. We can’t wait to make the recipes he shared with us!
We had a wonderful time at this ramen and gyoza cooking class with my family! The chef and staff were incredibly friendly and made everyone feel welcome from the start. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, even for those of us with limited cooking experience, and the food we made turned out absolutely delicious!
A special touch that really stood out was that they generously shared the recipe with us so we can recreate the dishes once we're back home. It was a fun, hands-on experience for the whole family, and we'd highly recommend this class to anyone visiting the area looking for something memorable to do together.
If you love ramen and gyoza, you’re gonna love the ramen and gyoza you make with the assistance of the guides
This class was a lot of fun and a great experience just northwest of Tokyo. We felt very welcome and the instructors were very friendly and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone in the Tokyo area - it's definitely worth the trip!
Great way to learn to make ramen and gyoza! We took this class as a family with 2 kids. Everyone had so much fun and the food was excellent!
We had so much fun with Amo and Yoshi! Chef Yoshi owned his own ramen restaurant in Sydney, Australia, and has worked in famous ramen shops across Japan. With his help, we made the most wonderful bowls of ramen and gyoza, and they even accommodated my vegan daughter. We all recommend this experience!
It ‘s a very nice atmosphere. The chef and his wife is a great host. My husband and I had a fun couple of hrs
We had a great time learning about how to make some delicious ramen! They were super accommodating and informative. We can’t wait to make the recipes they shared with us as it was some of the best ramen and gyoza we’ve ever had!
Amazing experience and the people who ran the program even gave us their personal family recipe at the end.
Meeting point is on second floor of the station.
Absolutely an amazing experience. The host are wonderful inviting groups into their home to make ramen and dumplings. Just a fun cooking event with the end you enjoy the fruits of your labor. Food was delicious.

Yoshi and Amo were seriously the best! They’re so warm and immediately welcoming and with two other travelers we had a small group of four, which was honestly perfect. They walked us step by step through both the dumpling and ramen parts, all the while giving us some great insight into how they came to offer these classes, and made it so easy for future remakes of these in our own homes in the future! HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking to try something a little different with a really cool and wonderful couple :)
We had a wonderful time and learned a ton! Really lovely experience for my and my husband. We especially appreciated that they ran the class for us even though it was just the two of us!
Amazing experience! We’ve done a few cooking classes over the years but this is hands down the best! Highly recommend for delicious food (best broth we’ve had in Japan) and lots of learning and hands on experience.
My husband and daughter took this class together and loved it. They said it was so personal and fun and they got great tips about other things to do in the city. They brought the recipes home.
We loved this cooking class. My family still makes the recipes from the class now. Definitely do this one!
This was an incredible and fun experience. My husband and I had a wonderful time learning how to make the most delicious ramen and goyza. The hosts were so lovely and welcoming. Would highly recommend this experience to everyone.
Delightful experience, food for the soul as well as the palate. A day you can’t stop smiling about. Thank you Ano and Yoshi!
Such a wonderful experience. Went with our 12 and 13 yr old an we learned how to make the best ramen and dumplings. It was the best ramen we’ve had in Tokyo! Yoshi and Amo were incredibly kind and made us feel at home. I highly suggest having this experience :)
One of the best things we did in Japan. For sure the best meal we had! Highly recommend. When we come back will for sure do again.
What a great way to experience authentic Japan with an excellent cooking class. Yoshi and Amo are super easy to learn from and so much fun. Their energy was contagious. Our entire family with 3 adults and 2 kids truly had a memorable time.. Happy People, Happy Tummies Overall amazing!!
Nice and cozy place at authentic japanese home. The course is detailed and full of useful tips. The result ramen and gyozas were absolutely delicious.
We made dumplings and ramen. We made fresh noodles and learned about the broth process. Make sure you come to the class hungry as there is a lot of food!
This couple was tremendous in working with us to make the most delicious Ramen and Goyza ever. The one thing I’m disappointed about is they said they were gonna send us the recipes for what we made and we have still not received them. If anyone knows how to get a hold of this couple, I would appreciate knowing so that I can send him an email.

We had such an amazing time with these guys! They are super nice and passionate about what they do!
That was also a great opportunity to eat the best ramen ever 😄
Can’t wait to try and make this fantastic recipe back home!
Thank you so much, Yoshi and Amo!
We were fortunate enough to spend a rainy afternoon with Ano and Yoshi learning about ramen, dumplings and Japanese culture. Their apartment was spotlessly clean and set up perfectly for a cooking class. They couldn’t have been more welcoming. The food was delicious and we can’t wait to make ramen and dumplings when we get home!
We had an amazing time learning to cook ramen and gyoza with Yoshi and Amo. They patiently taught us step by step every part of their recipes. The food was delicious and they were so warm and funny. Their class has been my favorite part of our trip to Tokyo!
We had the best time doing this experience. It was in a cute part of the city, it was fun, informative, and very delicious! I highly recommend. You will have the best time!
Amazing experience!!!! Amo and Yoshi were amazing hosts and so welcoming. The entire time was none stop fun and so informative. Great activity for all ages and I cannot say enough about how tasty the ramen and goza was. Best part of the trip so far!
It was very nice experience! They prepared in advance to give us the best options for our food restrictions (no fish/seafood and vegetarian), explained everything in English and were very patient. Thank you 🙂
