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 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!

    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 :)

    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!

    Ramen and Gouda

    Sheryl_W, Nov 2025
    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.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    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!

    Wonderful Ramen Experience!

    Melissa_G, Oct 2025
    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!

    Best part of our trip!

    Donna_C, Oct 2025
    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!

    Must do in Tokyo!

    Dylan_M, Oct 2025

    Assaf_W, Sep 2025
    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 🙂

    Unreal!!!

    Michael_R, Sep 2025
    Awesome!!! Yoshi and Amo were wonderful hosts! My 12 year old daughter loved it too. Great to only have small group (3 of us, plus another group of 3). Nice and social. Plenty of chance to chat. Yoshi has designed some seriously cool ramen inspired t-shirts too!

    Best ramen in Tokyo

    Jose_F, Aug 2025
    I went here with my family 3 adults and 2 kids. This was such a great experience in all levels. 1st of all we were received at the train station by Oma and if it wasn't for the fact that we looked like tourists we would have missed each other but, Oma spotted me right away. Secondly, the information that Yoshi has on cooking ramen and cooking in general is awesome. We had such a great time here and would highly recommend the duo of Oma and Yoshi. Good time and food is right on !!

    Great time cooking

    Aaron_P, Aug 2025
    A great experience and the ramen and dumplings are delicious. Going to try to make it when we get home because of this fun class. The hosts are amazing and well worth the time and money. Very happy we chose to do this

    Best Ramen Making Class

    Courtney_S, Jul 2025
    The experience was the best thing we did during our visit. We had a blast with our host and we made some of the best ramen we had our entire trip. I would do this class over and over again.

    A joyful experience and highlight of our trip!

    Raj_G, Jul 2025
    Our family absolutely loved this experience with our chef and our host. They graciously welcomed us into their space and put so much care in the food and our learning. We had fun working together and the end result was a delicious dinner! We left quite full - of ramen and of gratitude for this personal and fun experience. Book this now and tell all your friends! These hosts are truly remarkable!

    Great experience

    Rupesh_K, Jun 2025
    We had a blast with Yoshi and Amo, and learned a lot. They accommodated for us and made two vegetarian options for my wife and daughter. Would 100% recommend them.

    Fun, educational and delicious!

    Brad_W, Jun 2025
    Amo and Yoshi are excellent hosts. The class was very fun, hands on, and educational. We learned great techniques and methods for making delicious ramen. The class was very engaging in a light and conversational manner. Thank you Amo and Yoshi!!

    Getting here is easy, cooking is so fun and the food is delicious.

    Jessica_C, Jun 2025
    We loved traveling to this residential area! Navigating the trains was easy. First, Amo met us at the train station & then walked us to their home for the class. It was so clean & being there just felt comfortable. Yoshi had prepared the broth and meat in advance, which we learned was extremely time consuming. The cooking experience, the deliciousness of the food, and the friendly environment made it the hi light of our day. Even my picky eater teenage son loved it, he was able to customize his bowl. My personal favorite part was making the noodles. My family of 4 just loved it. I absolutely recommend you book this class!

    A fun, hands on, and delicious Tokyo experience

    Jennifer_H, May 2025
    So glad we did this class. It was relaxed, interesting, and fun. The opportunity to spend the morning with husband and wife team Yoshi and Amo will be remembered as one of my highlights of visiting Tokyo. Plus, the ramen we made was delicious! Come to this class hungry.
