1 Miso Ramen
When you are in Japan, you will learn that Ramen have three basic flavors, Salt,Soy sauce and Miso(fermented soy bean paste).
Making good Ramen soup from scratch requires a lot of time.
In my class, I'll teach you how to make a delicious home made Ramen soup easily.
And the ingredients are arranged simply to find out in stores such as Miso, Minced pork and Onion etc.
And then we will make Ramen noodles from scratch by using a traditional noodle knife and our feet.
All the progress is very interesting for everyone.
Fresh curly noodles are smooth and chewy.
2 Fruits Daifuku
Daifuku is a typical Japanese sweet that has been eaten on a daily basis for a long time. Recently, fruit daifuku, which is made by wrapping delicious seasonal fruits such as strawberries, mandarin oranges, and figs in white bean paste and sweet rice cakes, has become popular.
3 Local market tour
Omori is a town located just outside the center of Tokyo, where many Japanese people reside. In the past, seaweed farming was popular due to its proximity to Tokyo Bay.
I live in Omori, which is a residential area characterized by a mix of old small shops and some of Japan's largest supermarkets. On the way from the station to my house, you can visit various shops, including supermarkets, where I can introduce you to Japanese ingredients and seasonal items. This experience will undoubtedly provide you with a glimpse into real life in Japan, showcasing a culture distinct from Shibuya and Asakusa.
If there's anything that catches your interest, I believe it would be a great idea to do some shopping on the way back home after class.
Menu requests are welcome!!
If there are any specific Japanese dishes you would like to learn how to cook, please let me know.
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).
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.
All my classes are private classes.
Therefore, I will carefully explain each step, one by one. Additionally, while cooking, I will share stories about Japanese food and daily life in Japan. Feel free to ask any questions you may have during your trip or anything about Japan you'd like to know.
We make curly Ramen noodles and soup from scratch in this class.
After spreading salt water whole of flour, kneading the dough by your feet and a pasta machine both.
That work is so fun for everyone.
And you will be definitely surprised at the freshness and smoothness of homemade Ramen noodles.
And next, we will make Miso Ramen soup by simple ingredients as below.
Chili bean sauce and Miso make Ramen soup full of flavor.
Top the Miso Ramen with a soft boiled egg, corn and vegetables and the homemade Miso Ramen is finally done.
In my class, I will introduce simple recipes that participants can make even after going back to your country. I think it will be a very exciting and valuable experience to wrap fruit in freshly made hot and sticky rice cakes.
Moreover, the unique process of cutting the freshly made fruit daifuku using a thread, which is challenging with a knife, adds to the excitement. Why not create photogenic Japanese sweets?
Let's enjoy making home made delicious Miso Ramen and Fruits Daifuku along!!
Hello, welcome to Japan!!

I'm a foodie person who loves to chitchat and entertain people .
I'm living in Tokyo with my great family(husband and a son).

Junko was so friendly and knowledgeable, and did a wonderful job making the class fun and informative and really catered to my husband and I and our conversations along the way. We made delicious ramen in a method that was approachable and that we could replicate at home (we already have plans to make it again for friends!). The walking tour of the neighborhood was a highlight as well, and we learned a lot about the local history and products, and what it would be like to live in her town day to day. I cannot recommend this class enough, you will not regret it!

★★★★★Junko was amazing and beyond hospitable! We had a change to our flight itinerary and she was able to accommodate us. Most of all, she was patient with my 6 year old whose attention can be hard to manage sometimes. However, when you ask my child what was her favorite thing about the trip she will hands down say making her own ramen and that it was THE best ramen she’s had… thanks of course to Junko! Highly recommend this class. You will not regret the experience. I would definitely do it again.

★★★★★My partner and I would absolutely recommend Junko's cooking class to travelers to Japan. She is so friendly and kind! We really enjoyed learning to make ramen and daifuku from Junko. She taught us very patiently and the meal was delicious! Junko went the extra mile in a number of ways that made the experience really worthwhile. Before our visit, I had asked Junko for help with obtaining some natto starter cultures for my mom back home and prior to the class before she had even met us, she called several shops and grocery stores to help us find it, and we were very grateful for her enthusiasm and helpfulness. During our walking tour, Junko explained different tea types which helped me because I was trying to decide what to get for my tea-loving family. At a local shop, she also generously bought mochi for us to enjoy together! Finally, our lunch included not just the ramen and daifuku but also multiple of her favorite side dishes that she had prepared. Because she works in central Tokyo, Junko was able to recommend several great restaurants for us to visit during the remainder of our trip. We were keen on trying to have a local experience and besides the great cooking class, one of our favorite parts was being able to hear about Junko's experiences and life in Japan. Junko went above and beyond. Thank you Junko!

★★★★★Hello everyone My partner and I experienced Junko’s ramen and fruits daifuku cooking class last week while we were in Tokyo. We both had a wonderful time and learnt a lot - about cooking and Japanese way of life. Junko was such a friendly and fun person to spend a day with! She was patient and informative as she took us through the class, and the end result was a delicious lunch. An extra treat was the tour of her amazing local supermarket, where we were able to purchase some items as souvenirs following Junko’s recommendations. We will definitely look forward to making ramen when we get back home to Australia. I have no hesitation in recommending Junko’s class to other travellers who are keen for a local experience and yummy homemade meal while they’re in Tokyo. Thank you Junko!

Junko is so kind and welcoming. She reached out to me after the booking and continued to check in to ask about dietary requirements via what’s app and email. We meet her at her local station and had an opportunity to walk through local stores and learn more about Japanese food and culture. Once at her beautiful home, we started cooking! She was so patient with my kids and made the entire experience very educational and fun. It was like we were old friends catching up! We enjoyed our home cooked lunch and dessert together. She kindly included some extra food (sushi) to make it an enjoyable experience! She then took extra time for a calligraphy class which the kids really enjoyed. After the class she also sent us a few restaurant recommendations and checked in on us when Typhoon was approaching later on our trip. Junko is warm, kind and funny. The cooking class was our highlight and it felt like we had connected with an old friend! I highly recommended this personal and private opportunity to learn more about Japanese culture and food.

★★★★★I joined the cooking class with my partner and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan! Junko was knowledgable, caring and very helpful in teaching us how to make a delicious miso ramen. I cannot recommend enough to join this cooking class, I can’t wait to go back to Japan for a second round! Thanks Junko!
