Japanese chiken soup and dasi soup ramen
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.

★★★★★Machiko was a wonderful teacher and company for our gyoza and ramen class. She gave clear directions to meet her at the train station by her house, picked us up, showed us the grocery store near her house, and was a gracious host. The dumplings had delicious ingredients and ramen broth which she prepared ahead of time was tasty. She was very generous with her time and tips on cooking.

★★★★★We had a delicious evening with Machiko, making Gyoza and Ramen by ourselves. Machiko picked us up at the train station and took us home with her, where we prepared everything to make the soup and dumplings, and it was worth the effort! In the end we could eat our self-made food and it was superb. :) Thank you, Machiko!

★★★★★Machiko was wonderful! She was so warm and welcoming and had a great sense of humor. I enjoyed swinging by the grocery store, where she pointed out a few foods, before picking up some drinks for the evening. Then, at her apartment, the cooking part was interactive and delicious. She was a great host. Would recommend.

★★★★★Machiko's Ramen and Gyoza lesson told me just what I wanted to learn: how to make good home cooked ramen and gyoza with simple recipes I can replicate at home. In addition, it was a delight to chat with Machiko over dinner! She is a very personable host and has excellent English!

★★★★★Machiko was a nice cooking teacher. We first met at the entrance of Fushimi Station of kintetsu line (there's only one entrance). Then we went to the market located close to her place for shopping. At her place we had a nice cooking experience, there's a lot of practice so you can do it at home and the two meals were very yummy. Thank you Machiko for your cooking lesson, I'll practice at home now.

★★★★★We came to Machiko with no expectations & were absolutely blown away by her hospitality. She is exceptionally friendly, speaks really good English & had us laughing all night. Communication about meeting was clear, she picked us up from the station & took us to the market to pick up drinks to have with dinner (where she gave us great recommendations). She then welcomed us into her home & showed us how to make gyoza’s. This was very interactive & quite fun! Also very very tasty! We then watched & helped make the Teriyaki chicken ramen which was totemo oishi. She treated us to an additional tea ceremony & sweet matcha cake & walked us back to the station & assisted with train tickets. She just all round made us feel very welcomed & made for such an enjoyable evening, we can’t wipe the smile off our faces. We would both highly recommend Machiko for a night out in Kyoto. Thanks again! (Or as Mason says, Ta!)

★★★★★AirKitchen with Machiko is like cooking with your family. Machiko will meet you at the station. She will take you to the market to select your beverage of choice. We opted for beer and sake - both recommendations of Machiko. You will then be welcomed into her beautiful home where you will assist her in cooking. We made ramen and gyoza while enjoying Machiko’s company and conversation. We laughed the entire time! The meal was some of the best food we have enjoyed while in Japan at a very reasonable price. Machiko was a wonderful host. She taught us about Japanese tea, traditions and cooking all while making us laugh. We highly recommend meeting and cooking with Machiko!! Thank you for a wonderful evening.

★★★★★Machiko picked us up from the train station and she was instantly lovely. Machiko welcomed us into her lovely home and showed us what was involved in making delicious Ramen and Gyoza. We shared a couple of drinks while enjoying each other’s company. We took turns in preparing the ingredients and cooking the food. Machiko’s English is very good. It was a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
