Such a great class, I had an amazing time and I learned so much. Great instruction, great kitchen to work in, and such a delicious meal - best ramen I've ever had. Will recommend the class to others who are traveling to Japan.

Nahoko provided such a beautiful and unforgettable experience for our travels! We are grateful for her teaching a fun and educating class, and especially on how to make such a delicious bowl of Miso Ramen. What a treat it was to get to enjoy the fruits of our labor at the end of class!

Our cooking class with Nahoko was amazing! Nahoko is a super friendly host and took time to talk us through all steps in great detail and answered our millions of questions. Her Ramen is incredibly tasty and flavourful, and it was a very fun experience also making our own noodles! Highly recommend :)

Our cooking experience at Nahoko’s was marvelous ! She is a great teacher, we learned so much with her. And we had the chance to talk a lot about Japanese culture while cooking, which was awesome. Sharing the meal at the end of the class was the cherry on top ! I highly recommend this class !

During the planning of my first trip to Japan, I considered temples, gardens and an imperial something or other. I decided to make my trip about my favorite subject ... food. Normal people consider visiting an ancient temple as a way to learn about the culture ... over a thousand years ago! The best way to learn about Tokyo's current culture is by exploring its food. I decided to sign up for Sanami's food class. Ms. Sanami was so welcoming, sweet and knowledgeable. She was so organized and had proven techniques. I would definitely plan a future class with her and highly recommend her cooking classes.

Our ramen cooking class with Nahoko was brilliant! We cooked vege miso ramen and chicken ramen. The making of the ramen noodles was the best part. It was lovely to meet Nahoko and her husband and eat our meal next to the Christmas tree. Can’t wait to make delicious ramen at home. Would recommend for anyone visiting Tokyo!!

We had the best time cooking miso ramen with Nahoko! Nahoko was a kind and generous host, and taught us lots about Japanese cooking and culture. A highlight was getting the opportunity to cook our own ramen noodles from scratch. This cooking class was the best way to finish our trip to Japan. Thanks so much Nahoko!

אלי צ'צ'יקוב, Israel

I went to Nahoko’s ramen class with my wife yesterday and it was so much fun and informative time for us. Naboko san prepared all the ingredients for us and explained us one by one from the scratch - how to make broth, how to make the perfect soft boiled marinated egg, seasoned chicken toppings and etc. she’s very kind and polite, as well help us the whole time. We highly recommend her miso ramen recipe to whoever wants to make Japanese rich broth and homemade noodle style ramen at home.

What a lovely experience! Cooking with Nahoko was a highlight of our stay in Tokyo. The atmosphere during the class is light and fun, while learning so many tips and tricks for good ramen. The recipe is so tasty and I will sure recreate it at home. Definitely a 5 star experience.

Adam Hawkins, Australia

I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Nahoko! She is a lovely person and great teacher. The gyozas and ramen were the best I've ever tasted (and not just because we helped cook them ;) Nahoko is very attentive when it comes to hygene and cleaning which is extra important in recent times. I would highly recommend her class!

caoimh, Ireland

Our cooking experience with Nahoko was great! we spent 4 hours in her Tokyo home where we prepared food together and enjoyed a meal. We also were lucky enough to meet her husband who joined us for dinner. Two of the nicest people we met on our whole trip!

Richard Martin, United States of America

Our entire experience with Nahoko was perfect! Her directions were very clear and we found her house with no issues! Her house was very clean and very nicely styled. We felt right at home! Nahoko made us feel welcome at all times and ensured we were comfortable. Next, the food was incredible. Nahoko guided us along and explained to us what made her Ramen and Gyoza special. We love Gyoza, and we’ve had a bunch of different places before. But I can say without a doubt that Nahoko’s gyoza is the best gyoza I’ve ever had! Nahoko has the perfect balance of instruction and demonstration, so we felt included every step of the way. Her Ramen was so unique and tasty too! It was a truly special recipe that tasted full of love and care. All in all, you cannot go wrong spending your afternoon with Nahoko. We had so much fun and had wonderful conversation with her husband and her. We recommend everyone come by to learn about making ramen and gyoza with Nahoko!

Boy oh boy, what a night! Spending the night with Nahoko and doing her cooking class was honestly the best way to finish our trip.

Alicia Navetta, United States of America

The cooking class was excellent! We made ramen dough from scratch, slow cooked chicken, soft boiled eggs, and two different gyoza fillings. I really enjoyed how the class was structured. We spent a lot of time making the pasta noodles and filling the gyoza, and I now feel very comfortable with both of these skills. It was great to get a refresher on using a pasta roller, and I'd never used the smallest noodle setting before. I've made gyoza before on my own and didn't expect to learn very much from this part of the class. But Nahoko shared many tips and tricks to get the filling and frying just right. I'm very excited to make gyoza again with these additions. Her filling recipes are also really delicious. Nahoko made the ramen broth before we arrived (I know it has to cook for a long time), but we got to add a few things to the broth, so it felt like we were still contributing to it. The class took about 4 hours, and we were busy the whole time. That's about the maximum amount of time I can pay attention. The class was well structured and I'm not sure how to improve the timing. We spent a lot of time on things that require practice (like filling gyoza), and got to watch many things that were very quick (like the chicken and eggs). The class gave us a very good understanding of both dishes, and I look forward to making them at home. Thanks, Nahoko!!

We totally enjoyed Nahoko's cooking class - I can only recommend booking her Ramen and Gyoza Class :-). Nahoko is such a lovely and kind person - she explained everything very well and we had a really good time at her beautiful home. I'm already looking forward to cooking her recipes for my family and friends at home :) We first made two kinds of Gyoza (her new recipe is also very nice), and then we made ramen noodle dough and the toppings. Nahoko had already prepared the broth before we came to her house, but she told us how to make it and I also expected it like this, cause Ramen broth takes a time to simmer. After flavouring the broth, we enjoyed a really amazing bowl of Ramen <3 Thank you very much, Nahoko, for this nice afternoon, it was a pleasure for us :)

Nahidah, United States of America

Nahoko’s class was a pleasure. She is dedicated to her art of cooking and you can tell that everything she is doing is coming from the heart. I always say,”you can taste when food is made with love,” and this was no exception. Arriving to Nahoko’s class was simple. She provided detailed instructions and it was hard to miss her cute yellow house. She quickly brought us in and had tea ready for us at the table. Her utensils and dishes were beautiful. Before the cooking started she explained to us the importance of washing our hands. I cannot agree more with stressing this concept as my partner and I deal with patients and this is a crucial part of reducing infections. We first started on the gyoza. My partner was having a little bit of a struggle making his pleats but she gave him encouragement to go through it and would reexplain the steps to him. We ate the gyoza afterwards and had a nice chat. Now we were starting on the ramen. She explained the importance of the broth. She stressed how she liked to use natural ingredients from even the start of the class. Restaurants will use MSG or farm raised shrimps which she tries to stay away from because it will not only change the flavor, but will affect your heath in the long run. We made the noodles, tossed it into the boiling water, rinsed it off and then into the broth. She told us to eat the ramen in 8 minutes. My partner and I could have probably ate it in less. The most delicious refreshing ramen. Nahoko was an amazing teacher and I would recommend her class to anyone. It was a memorable part of our trip. She was considerate of our dietary needs. She spoke very well English. When I left I had such an urge to hug her before I left because this experience was like being at home in a different country, Nahoko’s home.

Cooking with Nahoko was a great experience. I was alone and got lucky to experience a private class , so kind of her. The class felt relaxed , just like meeting with a friend , we had a really good time. I have learn more Japanese customs and language which is super interested. It was not just a cooking classe but also a cultural exchange. The food was very tasty and the ingredient of high quality. I can only recommand this cooking lesson. We did a vegetarian class and the options provided were so yummy. Good recipes to bring back home for friends / family.

Cooking with Nahoko was an excellent experience! She lives in a very nice house that was easily accessible by the public transport instructions she emailed us. Her house and kitchen are lovely and spacious, and the perfect place to learn how to cook Japanese cuisine! She was able to accommodate myself and a friend with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, and the food was absolutely delicious. Her English is excellent and it was great fun learning all about Nahoko! I would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Tokyo. It was a unique experience and a definite highlight of our trip!

We just finished our cooking class and it was really amazing. If it was possible to give more then five stars I would. Nahoko is definitely the most lovely person we met during our journey in Japan. She really made it personal, took a lot of time for us and the food was probably the best we had in Japan. This was definitely the highlight of our trip and would recommend this to everyone.

Nahoko gave great gyoza and ramen lesson. She was very patient, kind, and helped us make delicious gyoza and ramen.

Our cooking class with Nahoko was one of the best experiences we had in Tokyo. Nahoko was absolutely amazing, not only the class was very interesting and delicious, but Nahoko also helped us to understand the Japanese culture a little bit better by answering all of our questions.

We had a great time learning to cook yummy gyoza and ramen with Nahoko! Both my husband and I are vegetarians and Nahoko adjusted her recipes for us which was great. The class was very hands on and the recipes were easy enough that you can make them at home. She is a friendly teacher and her newly renovated kitchen is lovely and welcoming. Nahoko’s house is in a nice quiet neighbourhood. It was a great experience meeting and learning to cook with Nahoko. どうもありがとうございました なほこさん！

Our cooking experience with Nahoko was the best! Both Nahoko and her husband were extremely kind and we had so much fun we ended up spending the entire afternoon with them! Nahoko even showed us her favorite shops in the neighborhood, after the cooking class, and gave us many tips of places to visit in Tokyo. The cooking class blew all of our expectations away. We learned how to make the best gyozas and some delicious ramen. What was also great was how Nahoko gave us all recipes written down in a handout. I really recommend her class. It was one of the highlights of our Japan trip :)

ANDY, United States of America

Nahoko is a very gracious host. She responded to my messages in a timely manner and even provided me the most efficient train route from my hotel to her home. I had no problem navigating with her directions. I had a wonderful time learning how to make Japanese food. Nahoko answered all my questions and now I have a new skill to share with my friends and family. Nahoko also printed out all instruction for me to take home. My experience was more than learning to cook, but being able to interact with a Japanese friend and enjoy the cultural differences. I would highly recommend to spend your afternoon with Nahoko and cook some great food.

John, United Kingdom

Brilliant afternoon cooking gyoza and ramen with Nahoko. We booked very last minute at 9pm the night before and Nahoko was kind enough to move her schedule around to fit us in. The instructions were well explained and the food tasted delicious. Nahoko walked us back to the train station after the class and when we didn't have enough cash she generously gave us the extra money so we could buy the tickets. All in all a great, authentic experience and one of our highlights from Tokyo.

Scott and Jess, United States of America

Our cooking class with Nahoko was a definite highlight of our trip! She was so kind and patient and gave us an authentic look into some traditional Japanese dishes. We were warmly welcomed into her home and she was happy to answer any questions we had. The food was FANTASTIC! It was so good that once we returned home, we hosted a mini cooking class with our family using her recipes and the tips she taught us! We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys cooking or at the very least enjoys meeting new people and trying new experiences. Nahoko deserves 5 stars! Thank you again!

Alicia Rohe, Germany

Our cooking class with Nahoko was one of the most valuable experience in Japan. Finally we met a local person, learned more about the japanese lifestyle and their culture. Even though we were late, the class took place and after it she brought us to a local super market to buy some ingredients we used for cooking. Nahoko is polite, funny and so welcoming that I can just highly recommend to take her class. You will learn to cook ramen in the traditional way with natural ingredients. The food tasted amazing and we enjoyed cooking, eating together and having conversations a lot. Thank you so much Nahoko for this amazing day and hope to see each other again one day!!

Apr 2019

Shane, United States of America

Nahoko is a wonderfully warm and genuine host. I felt welcomed into her home the moment I stepped in. And learning her personal recipes were a real treat. I never thought that I would have been able to make tasty, restaurant quality ramen with a homemade feel like I did when I was there. Nahoko can speak English and Japanese , which is a real help for tourists who want to jump in to an authentic Japanese home and learn as much as possible. Her instructions are easy to follow for a beginner , but not too basic for a more advanced student. Take her class, you’ll be surprised at what’s you can do.

Apr 2019

Hilla , Israel

Nahoko gives it all to this class, she's a fascinating individual, very friendly and caring and has great enthusiasm for this class. This experience became one of my top experiences in Japan, of a month of traveling. I hope I'll get the chance to host Nohoko in my kitchen in Israel one day.
