Ramen is a noodle soup dish and perhaps one of the most popular Japanese dishes. There are many flavours of ramen, such as Shoyu (soy sauce) ramen, Miso ramen, Tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen and so on. Common toppings are Chashu (braised pork), Negi (green onion) and Nori (dried seaweed).
Gyoza is a dumpling using wrapping thing dough to hold the inner ingredients. Most commonly, minced pork, cabbage, Garlic and Leek. The origin of Gyoza is from China but it has evolved uniquely in Japan and now quite different from the Chinese one.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.

Nice to meet you! I'm Makiyo.
I run a vegan cooking class at my home near Osaka Castle.
I've been studying French pastries as a job for 25 years.
When I lived in France, I realized how wonderful the Japanese food culture was, and now I'm interested in traditional Japanese koji and am studying fermented foods in depth.
Also, recently, when a vegetarian friend came to Osaka, she had a hard time choosing a restaurant. She realized that there are still fewer vegan restaurants in Osaka than in Tokyo.
That's why I'm running a cooking class that specializes in vegans. It's not as formal as a classroom, so we offer Japanese home cooking and sweets that even people with food restrictions can enjoy, as if they were coming to visit your home.

★★★★★We had a delightful evening with Makiyo and her partner! Makiyo is a passionate and experienced chef who takes pride in creating and teaching about healthy and mouth-watering dishes. We were wholeheartedly welcomed in their home and were walked through all the ingredients and the steps of the two dishes. We loved that many of the ingredients were home made, such as the onion koji and miso paste. It was fantastic she is able to adapt for vegan and gluten-free without compromising taste. Apart from the cooking we shared interesting discussions about our lives, nutrition etc. She is studying the science of fermentation which is quite inspiring and interesting. We highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to explore plant-based traditional Japanese cuisine!

Response from Makiyo
Hi Tim!
We were very happy to have the time to discuss veganism and the exploration of traditional Japanese fermented seasonings.
In addition, the dishes served are original recipes that have been improved many times.
I'm so happy that you both liked it.
Please come to my house again when you come to Osaka.

★★★★★We had a wonderful time today learning how to make ramen and gyoza from scratch with Makiyo. She had everything ready to go and was very careful to make sure every ingredient was vegan. We had many questions and she was happy to answer them with her expert knowledge. Her partner acted as translator and had excellent English. Both were very friendly and made us comfortable. The food tasted great and we feel able to make it at home now. Thank you.
