Alan Pope, United States of America

We enjoyed our afternoon with Nahoko! We enjoyed the lessons on umami and noodle making! I look forward to using my new skills on making my own bowl of ramen! A great way to spend the day!

Thomas, Germany

What an incredible experience we had with Nahoko in Tokyo! Not only did we learn how to make a truly delicious bowl of ramen, but we also enjoyed a warm and memorable afternoon in great company: Nahoko herself and our lovely fellow guests. Along the way, we exchanged stories and insights about Japanese, Swedish and German (food and other) culture, which made the day even more special. Nahoko didn’t just guide us through the cooking process, she generously shared her deep knowledge about the ingredients and traditions behind the dish. We learned all about umami, koji, and even how to make miso from scratch (we’re definitely going to try it at home—if we can get our hands on some koji!). And the ramen? Absolutely sensational. Hands down the best we’ve ever tasted—and we made it ourselves (with Nahoko’s expert guidance and top-quality ingredients, of course). 11/10 - Nahoko’s Ramen class is a must-do!

This was such a beautiful ending to our trip to Japan. Nahoko welcomed us into her home and we learned the details to make delicious ramen. She was informative, patient, and most importantly, fun! I cannot wait to try this recipe at home, thank you Nahoko!

The cooking class was really really awesome! Nahoko is such a good teacher! Even as a professional chef, we have learned something new!. Thank you very much for this great experience!

Byron Mark Albrecht, Australia

We decided to do a cooking class on our last day in Japan before we flew home and are so glad we did. Nahoko-san was a great host and her passion for using all natural ingredients to create fantastic flavours was great for us to experience. We made our own ramen noodles and learnt about how to construct the broth. It tasted delicious!

Dec 2024

Jason, United States of America

Dear Nahoko, what a wonderful experience! Your choice of flavors in the broth were unique and complimentary and made the entire dish delicious. 10/10 will make this again at home. Thank you.

Ken, United States of America

Four of us shared Nahoko’s kitchen and had a wonderful afternoon highlighted by superb scratch made ramen. She was a delightful host and wonderfull cook. Thanks Nahoko!

Alexa, United States of America

My husband and I had the pleasure of taking Nahoko’s ramen class during our honeymoon, and it was an incredible experience! We were thrilled to find a class that could accommodate both of our dietary restrictions—I’m pork-free, and my husband is allergic to gluten. Nahoko was not only an excellent teacher but also a fantastic storyteller, sharing the history of ramen, the art of achieving the perfect umami balance, and insights into Japanese culture. The dish we made was fantastic and we cannot wait to repeat it at home. This class was a highlight of our trip, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of dietary needs.

Nikola Mitrovic, Serbia

Our ramen cooking class with Nahoko absolutely achieved our expectations! We couldn’t ask for a better cooking experience. But not just the fact that we get to put our hands on and cook ramen, Nahoko gave us also a lot of details on how does the science of umami works. Now we use it all the time to determine is something umami or not. Truly a magical experience, and Nahoko is a wonderful human being. Thank you Nahoko for an amazing day. :)

Nov 2024

Johanna, Austria

Loved the cooking class! Nahoko explained everything in detail, was a great host and the class was a lot of fun. Also, the Ramen we made was delicious! I would 100% recommend this class. Thanks a lot, Nahoko!

Conor McGuigan, United Kingdom

If you have any doubts about cooking ramen at home, this class will prove to you that it is possible (and can be done in only a few hours). Nahoka was a wonderful host and shared some fascinating insights into the subject of ramen. Highly recommend!

Oct 2024

Bradley, United States of America

My girlfriend and I signed up for this class to wrap up the first part of our trip in Japan. We wanted to do one chicken ramen and one veggie ramen meal. It ended up being so hot outside that Nahoko suggested we change over to Tsukemen instead of ramen. It was a good choice. Nahoko welcomed us into her home and took great care to make us feel comfortable. She explained the science and history of flavor, the process we would use to make our Tsukemen, and why each step was necessary. We not only made the broth over the course of the class, but also hand made the noodles. While English wasn't a problem for Nahoko, she was very kind to also let me practice some Japanese with her as we cooked. She was very patient and had lots of insightful tips. We really enjoyed this class and hope to stay in touch with Nahoko in the future. Would highly recommend this class to anyone interested.

I had a fun and informative time cooking with Nahoko. I can’t wait to use what I learn at home and recreat the dish!

Nahoko was a lovely, informative, teacher and the food we made was very tasy!

james Doggette, United States of America

Nahoko Sanami's Ramen Class was the highlight of the vacation time my wife and I spent in Japan. She was knowledgable, personable, humorous, and can flat-out cook! We had fun, developed a new skill, and ate a gourmet meal packed full of umami. In retrospect, the experience was worth way more than we payed for the class. She is The Best!!

Frank, Malta

I recently had the pleasure of attending a ramen cooking class in Tokyo with Nahoko, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived at her cozy home, we felt warmly welcomed. Nahoko took her time explaining the ingredients in detail, making sure we understood the importance of each element in creating authentic ramen. Her passion for cooking was evident as she shared insights into the flavors and techniques that make ramen so special. One of the highlights of the class was the inclusion of gluten-free ramen, as another couple in the class had dietary restrictions. Nahoko was incredibly accommodating and had everything prepared to ensure that everyone could enjoy the experience fully. It was impressive to see how she seamlessly adapted the recipes without compromising on taste. We cooked the ramen from scratch, starting with the broth, which filled the kitchen with a delicious aroma. Nahoko guided us through each step, making the process both educational and enjoyable. Her light-hearted jokes and genuine interest in our backgrounds added a personal touch that made the class feel more like a gathering of friends than a formal lesson. Nahoko also generously provided us with the recipe to recreate the ramen at home. I left the class not only with a full stomach but with a newfound appreciation for the art of ramen-making. I highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Tokyo—it’s a must-do experience for food lovers!

Elisa, Germany

My cooking lesson with Nahoko was one of my highlights here during my stay in Japan. Nahoko was very patient with me and she gave me a lot of background information, so not only can I cook this ramen recipe now myself, I also understand why some steps are important and I even had a bit of a history background. The ramen was THE best I've ever had and no need to say that it was the cherry on top of this lovely afternoon I spent with Nahoko. I hope to come back soon and cook a new recipe with you!! I can only recommend to everyone

Dr. Francisco machuca, United States of America

This was the highlight of our trip in Japan! Nahoko-san prepared a thorough class and experience for me and my son. We leaned the finer points of the Japanese palet. Moreover, made amazing Ramen from scratch with great company! Highly recommend this for those with real passion for food and knowledge.

Wei Jian, Singapore

Really enjoyed the cooking class! What we liked about it is that it’s home cooked using tools you can find in an average kitchen instead of a professional class with industrial machines that you’ll never see after you step out of the class. We are bloggers by hobby and have reviewed over 80 bowls of ramen in Japan from the Michelin stars to back alley joints. The ramen cooked in Nahoko sensei is really good and made us felt like yea! I can do it in my kitchen too! Sensei takes her time in teaching and we never once felt rushed. She carefully explains some of the history and science behind making a bowl of good ramen, and also healthier version as she explains why she swap certain ingredients out, etc. Overall, we recommend going for this over other fancy cooking in the shop or with a professional chef type of class if what you really want is to be able to cook this when you return home.

We had great fun at Nahoko's home and cooked up some delicious ramen (if I do say so myself ;-).

Jamie Sterling, Canada

I had such a nice time at Nahoko's home. The ramen was incredible and she was so nice to explain how I could make the recipe vegetarian, too. I would definitely recommend her cooking class. Bring a pen to take notes and don't make any dinner plans afterwards!

Gil , Israel

We had a wonderful time with Nahoko, her explenations were very interesting and we were very happy to get to know her! Just had a fun time together. The class teaches everything step by step and we cant wait to try and make our own Ramdn at home.

May 2024

Kevin, United States of America

This was a very fun class, thorough too, we learned all about the history of umami and then we made our noodles for our ramen that we made together and it tasted great.

May 2024

John, Greece

Great experience! We learned a little bit of cooking history on top of the amazing cooking experience. A must go if you are a ramen lover!

May 2024

Victoria, Denmark

Nahoko welcomed us into her lovely home. She started out by telling us some facts about the thoughts and “science” behind the food we were about to make. We learned a lot within the 5 hours and I would recommend a cooking class to everyone visiting Japan. In particular Nahokos cooking class. A tip - bring a snack because you eat around 14.30-15.00 so we were all starving! Thank you again for letting us into your home. ありがとうございます

Apr 2024

Gordon, United States of America

Our cooking class with Nahoko in Tokyo was amazing. There were four of us traveling together and Nahoko’s ramen cooking class in her home was perfect. Almost 5 hours long and you prepare and cook everything from scratch. A real hands on and delicious ramen. We’ve already made ramen once since returning home and our guests raved about it. Best cooking class we’ve ever experienced!

Apr 2024

Elisa, Germany

Our cooking experience was really great! Nahoko Lobes to explane a lot of details and she likes to answer all the questions you have. Nevertheless: We eat with Nahoko the beat Ramen of out Japan trip!

Apr 2024

Unna, Finland

Thank you Nahoko for an excellent cooking class! We had a great time! Nahoko was very encouraging and positive throughout the class, especially considering we never hade made ramen before. You can also see that she knows what she is doing. It was also nice to see Nahokos husband and their home. Nahoko speaks great english, so we were able to learn more about the japanese language, culture and food culture from her!

Apr 2024

Laura, United States of America

Our cooking experience was wonderful. Nahoko was so gracious and welcomed us into her home. We learned so much about making ramen and it was delicious! Thank you for hosting us Nahoko!

Mar 2024

Yvonne, Singapore

We had a wonderful experience learning to make our own ramen with Nahoko. She was very generous with sharing her knowledge. She is very detailed in her process, which is great. Also great to learn how to use chicken instead of pork. Her home is in a nice quiet neighbourhood, and even her instructions on how to get there were very detailed! Nice cooking space, and of course, we enjoyed delicious ramen!! Can’t wait to go home and try cooking our ramen!

Apr 2024

Cameron, United States of America

My girlfriend and I went to Nahoko’s cooking class on our week long trip to Japan. The class was really great she taught us a lot about cooking ramen and about cooking in general. It was an amazing experience and I would 100% do it again!

Mar 2024

Shivani Gohil, United Kingdom

Nahoko was incredible and it was great that she accommodated to me with her creative vegan ramen which was as equally delicious as the regular one! She was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot from her

Mar 2024

MaryGrace, United States of America

Nahoko's cooking class was a highlight of my time in Japan! She's incredibly knowledgeable about Japanese cuisine, and global foods as well. I really enjoyed learning about the local culture while learning the traditional way to cook ramen. If you have the chance to take an in-person or virtual cooking class with Nahoko, take advantage and I promise you won't be disappointed!

Mar 2024

Rylund, Canada

Our cooking class was terrific. It is a long and very thorough class which allowed for a lot of conversation and information about some of the cultural background of Japanese cuisine. Nabokov was a great host and the recipe and techniques she taught resulted in a very delicious meal we look forward to replicating for friends soon.

Feb 2024

Mark, United Kingdom

Our cooking experience was excellent. We can’t say enough how great the cooking course is. Educational, fun and the ramen is delicious! Better than any ramen we tasted in Japan. Nahoko is a fabulous host. Very attentive and knowledgable about all the ingredients. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Japan! <3

Michelle, United States of America

Perfect for a group of friends, it was so much fun learning from Nahoko, she is hilarious and made the experience very special for us, I will be telling all my friends about it. She’s about 30 minutes west of Shinjuku but it was worth the visit. She was so patient with us, looking forward to seeing her again.

Dec 2023

Tom, United Kingdom

Nahoko sensei is so knowledgeable! I learned so much about cooking and it’s clear to see it’s a topic she’s very passionate about. We had a very enjoyable class talking about Japan and Japanese cuisine. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her class

Dec 2023

Emma, United Kingdom

We had a wonderful time cooking ramen with Nahoko. She’s an excellent teacher and our ramen was delicious. She even had some helpful advice for English substitutions, and i’m looking forward to cooking some marmite ramen back home :)

Sakthivel, India

I had a wonderful Ramen cooking experience with Nahoka. I had a one on one cooking session and I Made the best use of it Nahoka taught me a very yummy recipe of chicken miso ramen. All ingredients was made from scratch right from the broth and the dough for the noodle. It was so satisfying experience and I'm pretty sure I'm going to impress everyone back at home with her recipe . I highly recommend Nahokas Ramen tutorial to all the Ramen lovers out there . Thank you so much Nahoka

Arielle, United States of America

This ramen making class with Nohoko was one of the best experiences of my life. Not only was Nohoko the sweetest and most patient teacher, the knowledge you leave with us beyond + plus the amazing ramen you’re able to create and eat is unmatched. I can’t wait to take more classes with Nohoko on our next trip back to Japan. Thank you for helping us create a core memory Nohoko! You were the best.

Amelia, Australia

Thank you so much Nahoko for an amazing cooking experience. We truly appreciated being welcomed into your home and learning all about the art of ramen making. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your passion for food and teaching is about your culture. We had the most amazing day!

Luise , Germany

We had a great time at nahokos home. She taught us a lot about ramen and even had a vegan option for our friends, which tasted as delicious as the non vegan version.

Matt, United States of America

We really enjoyed our cooking class with Nahoko! We had really fun that 3 hours flew by so fast. We are SO happy that we learned how to cook Ramen from scratch. It was entertaining, thorough and truly a nice experience. I think it is the BEST miso ramen I have ever tasted. It is full of flavor!

Angela, United States of America

We had a wonderful time with Nahoko learning how to make ramen!!! Especially loved making our own noodles. Overall amazing experience!

Sep 2023

Philip Heritage, United Kingdom

The cooking experience we did with Nahoko was the Ramen class. The instructions to get to Nahoko house was very easy to understand. My partner and I love Ramen and wanted to do the course to learn more about the approach to cooking it. Nahoko started with introductions and a nice cup of tea. We then got a great in-depth explanation about what we were going to be cooking and the ingredients behind what makes the dish so good. We then started with prepping the broth and making the Noodles and boiling the eggs. Overall a great experience and enjoyed every minute. It was about a 4 hour class which was perfect and the ramen did not disappoint. I can't wait to go back home to make it.

Oct 2023

Nicolas Joseph Scozzaro, United States of America

The cooking class with Nahoko was a slog. I would not recommend it. To summarize, it was 5 hours of doing very little except watch her cook, all the while you’re bored and starving since you only eat one bowl of ramen at the very end. We arrived and she was very particular about how to take off our shoes, how the shoes should be oriented, and snapped at you if you didn’t do it right. I went with my partner and there were 4 other people total but she didn’t do anything to break the ice or introduce everyone. There was also no music the entire time, so it was not lively. She also has a bold rule she sends ahead of time “Please stop your private talk when cooking” so people were afraid to talk, making it awkwardly quiet. The most crucial part of how to make the broth she had already made mostly herself overnight without you getting to learn that part. She made us pay extra for vegetarian which I do not understand nor think is fair. She made us kneed our basic noodle dough for over an hour and then jump on it on the ground in a zip lock bag. Everyone’s dough split the zip lock bag and touched her dirty floor. Totally unnecessary and non nonsensical. I wanted to learn professional techniques but she is not a professional. She has never worked in a restaurant. No one would ever jump on dough on the ground and if she thought it’s fun, it wasn’t. For a 5 hour class there needs to be more than just a single bowl of ramen as the result. Everyone was losing their minds with hunger. Would be so easy to make something as easy as edamame along the way, but nope. She pressured everyone to leave a review, so I feel bad writing this, but it was the experience.

Oct 2023

Response from Nahoko
Hello,Nicolas. I’m sorry about that. I will definitely have to learn and use your review to improve the experience for future students. But I’m still so sad and discourage it. I would say the class was so lively and never quiet.(I asked you to stop private talking ONlY in front of the kitchen counter) I thought I taught you my all knowledge and tried to answer your all questions. I assumed you enjoyed the class overall. and never expected to get such a review without any positive points. Again I have to lean from your review and have to improve. Thank you!

Kayla, United States of America

We had the absolute best time cooking with Nahoko. She is not only kind and funny but she is also very knowledgeable about food/cooking. She accommodated the dietary preferences in our group and the Ramen turned out absolutely delicious. This was the highlight of our Japan trip and I would highly recommend it.

Oct 2023

Alessandra Tavares, Brazil

One of the richest experiences on a trip is being able to experience local culture, if it involves food, even more special. This was our experience: Fantastic! We feel like we are visiting an old friend, who makes us feel at home, providing us with very happy moments that we will cherish forever!!! どうもありがとうございます! Thanks so much!

Rossanne Gibb, Australia

Thank you, Nahoko. We enjoyed being welcomed into your home, and learned so much. Most importantly the ramen was the best we have eaten during our stay in Japan!

The course was very pleasant and Nahoko took a lot of time to explain everything to us. I have already made the recipe at home and it came out great. I can recommend the course!

Demetria Theodorou, United Kingdom

We had an extraordinary experience immersing ourselves in the art of crafting ramen from scratch under the guidance of Nahoko. Her warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home, while her profound knowledge and engaging explanations of the science behind the ingredients added an enriching dimension to our culinary journey. This ramen cooking class not only stands out as one of the highlights of our Japan trip but also left us with a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of ramen. The ramen recipe she shared with us surpassed any we had ever tasted, and her homemade miso, a true labor of love, was a privilege to savor. Meeting Nahoko's husband added a delightful personal touch to our experience. As we eagerly anticipate replicating Nahoko's teachings in our own kitchen and sharing this delectable delight with our friends, we can't help but regard this class as an absolute must for any food enthusiast visiting Japan. It was truly an honor to learn from Nahoko and a cherished memory we'll carry with us.

Sep 2023

Milly, United Kingdom

Nahoko was a wonderful, welcoming host. She is very knowledgeable and taught us so much about the ramen making process. She taught us both chicken and vegetarian miso ramen recipes and it was the best ramen we’ve ever had! It was particularly fun to make our own ramen noodles and we were so impressed with how they turned out. It was also lovely to meet her husband Kei who joined us for dinner, and very kindly gifted my partner an F.C. Tokyo scarf as they bonded over football. We had a wonderful evening, this experience was a highlight of our Japan trip so thank you both!

Sarah, Germany

I had a great time at the cooking class! I got it as a present and went there alone, luckily everyone made me feel very welcome. I learned many new things, for example what to consider when making the broth (I won’t disclose any secrets on here :)) I really recommend this class to anyone visiting the area as it was a fun and delicious experience!

Brigid Feehan, Australia

Nahoko was the perfect host! Not only was she amazing at her instruction of how to make ramen, she took the time and effort to have resources to help explain some of the underlying food science of why she followed her methods The ramen was amazing! Thank you Nahoko- I look forward to sending through the pictures of my Australian ramen (with Vegemite ☺️)

Lucky Aditya Nugraha, Switzerland

Salut Naohoko what an exquisite moment we had the chance to spend with you in your home. It was a privilege to follow your cooking class and to be able to benefit from your experience and your knowledge in good food in general and in ramen. We now know about UMAMI and how complexity is playing a big role. We will never forget your jumping technique for the ramen dough. Thanks for this unforgettable moment. And for the best ramen in the world! Arigato gosaimas

Diane, Canada

Nahoko was very welcoming to her kitchen. She is very experienced and taught in a way that was easy to understand. My mother and I had a lot of fun in class, had a wonderful meal, and we are now equipped to make the recipe again in the future. Thank you!

Jul 2023

Claudia, Italy

Our cooking experience was really nice! Nahoko is really friendly, she even introduced us to some theory. We made a miso Ramen recipe that can be easily reproduced when at home and it was delicious!

Jul 2023

Meredith, United States of America

We had a lovely afternoon/evening with Nahoko and the other guests!! I left feeling confident that I can make ramen at home since I have a much better understanding of the ingredients. I am very glad we booked this class instead of one where the noodles were made in advance.

Jun 2023

Monique Kane, Australia

The cooking experience my friend and I had with Nahoko was something I will never forget. How incredibly lucky we were to come across this cooking class on air kitchen and I can’t recommend Nahoko enough. Her warm and welcoming presence was so wonderful. I thank her for welcoming us into her home. I learnt so much and had such a great time! Thank you Nahoko

Jun 2023

Amy, United States of America

Our time with Nahoko was great! My husband and I enjoyed a private ramen making lesson with Nahoko. She was so kind and the food tasted great. She made the class fun and we learned a lot. We felt very welcome in her home. I would 100% recommend.

Jun 2023

Andrew, United Kingdom

Nahoko’s ramen class was absolutely fantastic! Nahoko was very communicative before the class and sent very detailed instructions on how to find her house. She was very welcoming from the minute we entered the door, teaching us all about the history of the flavours and taking us step by step through the ramen making process. It was a very fun and educational day for us all and we got to eat very tasty ramen at the end!

Jun 2023

Rachael , United States of America

The experience with Nahoko exceeded all my expectations! She is not only an amazing cook, she is a wonderful host. I learned how to make a show stopping ramen, but perhaps more importantly learned about ramen. What flavors go together and why, why the balance in the dish is priority and how to repurpose certain ingredients in other dishes. It was the highlight of my trip to Tokyo!

May 2023

Thien, Netherlands

Nice and very detailed class. Really enjoyed the science explanation for umami. Nahoko made sure to include everyone and made it work with their diet options. Looking forward to making ramen at home now!

Sindy, Germany

Our cooking class with Nahoko was interesting and well prepared. Nahoko is a very friendly host and was explaining well about the composition of the dish. To prepare the noodles was really fun for us. We were a group of 7 people, that’s why it was a bit crowded, what was still ok. But I had the impression that Nahoko was a bit stressed with preparing the broth for the ramen by herself and explaining the preparation for the different kind of groups (vegetarian, gluten free and regular). The space is small and she had to prepare 2 different kind of broths. Nahoko was willing to explain all her steps, but I would have preferred to cook it by myself. Especially when it comes to season the broth. I got the feeling to miss something at that point. The final ramen were delicious for sure and I’m looking forward to try it at home. All in all it was a great experience. Thank to you Nahoko.

May 2023

Response from Nahoko
Thank you for the precious review and I’m sorry I couldn’t give you 100% satisfaction.It was a group class but I assumed I explained everything for each type of ramen.And for the broth,usually it’s my demonstration.I should have recommended you a private class.

Sophie Le Hesran, France

We had a very nice cooking class with Nahoko! She teached us the secrets of cooking ramen with passion, fun and patience. Definitely worth the experience!

Thank you for your fantastic lesson! It was very beautiful, funny and we've understand everything in a easy way. The recipe was amazing and the fresh ingredients allowed us to cook an unforgettable ramen! Thank you.

Owen, United States of America

I enjoyed my time with Nahoko sensei. She answered all my questions ;-) and was a great teacher. I never felt rushed and our small group of 4 people and a great time. Ramen noodles from scratch have an amazing texture and the boiled egg was so creamy. I would love to take another class, especially the homemade miso one, with Nahoko sensei if I have the chance.

May 2023

Tiffany, Singapore

Our cooking experience with Nahoko was phenomenal! She’s a master of her craft and the kindest teacher! Furthermore, the ramen, both vegan and non-vegan, were absolutely delicious! Definitely would try out another class of hers in the future and recommend her classes to others as well!

May 2023

Estelle, Germany

Our cooking experience with Nahoko was really nice. Not only the food was fantastic but also the atmosphere and the kind explanations Nahoko gave us on our Ramen cooking. By the way, the vegan Ramen was the best Ramen we ate in all of Japan. Thank you really much for this experience!!!

Apr 2023

Meaghan, Belgium

We absolutely loved our experience with Nahoko. We are definitely not easy to feed. I am allergic to gluten, and my partner is vegan. Nahoko developed a new noodle recipe to accommodate us both. It was DELICIOUS!!! On top of that, Nahoko was so kind and welcoming. We enjoyed our time with us very much. Thanks, Nahoko.

Apr 2023

Naomi, United States of America

Nahoko was the most lovely and amazing host. She taught us how to make regular Ramen as well as a vegan Ramen (for a slight upcharge for the vegan ingredients) for myself, and she also shared her knowledge about umami flavor and many fun facts about the dish. You would be doing yourself a disservice not to attend her class. Its hard to make learning enjoyable, but she nailed it!! Thanks Nahoko<3

Apr 2023

Vicky , United Kingdom

Nahoko was a brilliant host, teaching us all the steps to create both a meat ramen and a vegan ramen. I would definitely recommend this experience!

Nahoko’s ramen class was amazing! We had so much fun, and the hours flew by quick. The ramen was delicious, and we all had a blast learning how to make the noodles. She is so friendly and welcoming, and I would highly recommend others to take her class. 10/10 would do it again.

our ramen making from scratch was such a wonderful experience while visiting Japan. Nahoko was such a wonderful host and instructor and we made a very delicious ramen. Thank you so much Nahoko for a fun filled class.

Very enjoyable ramen making class - everything tasted amazing and would have to say, this was my favourite ramen I had eaten since being in Japan. She taught us how to create flavour using healthy ingredients instead of pork bones. Highly recommend.

Nahoko is a lovely host and so knowledgeable. After excellent communication ahead of time and clear directions to her home (which included photographs of landmarks along the way), we were greeted with hospitality and grace by Nahoko. Our ramen class was four hours long and we shared the space with a nice couple from Australia who had traveled the world. Conversation was interesting and Nahoko’s ease with answering all of our questions was fascinating. Her ability to explain Japanese culture and food was a highlight. Our final product- our handmade ramen noodles in a delicious umami broth, with marinated boiled eggs and delicious veggies- was a great way to end our class. Highly recommend this experience.

Spending the day with Nahoko san and the class was an amazing experience :) she is very knowledgable about cooking, but combines that with her skill to engage her class, and bring the group together to make it all into a lovely and memorable experience :) Cannot wait to try what I've learnt at home and come back again for one of her other classes!

Thank you Nahoko! The method to make noodles was fun and awesome, and they turned out so super good. The ramen was delicious, can't wait to make it soon at home.

Michaela, United States of America

Our ramen class with Nahoko was amazing!! Four of us made regular ramen and she helped my daughter make gluten free ramen. She even avoided the use of soy sauce in the broth, and explained the substitution she made. She went into the “why” of the steps we took, so we learned a great deal. To top it all off the ramen was absolutely delicious!! We ate well, and had a marvelous time! I highly recommend Nahoko.

Madeleine, Australia

Our experience with Nahoko was lovely she is a great host with such a warm personality. I have a gluten allergy and she did her best to accomodate me. Our class began in a hybrid with both in person and online participants which wasn’t our favourite or ideal. However the class later became only in person participants which improved the experience to a more personal and intimate cooking class. Delicious recipe!! Thanks Maddy and Julie xx

Kristen Vondrak, United States of America

We absolutely loved our ramen class with Nahoko! It was authentic, she welcomed us into her home and we cooked everything right in her kitchen. She explained the ingredients and gave us all the tips and tricks that you can't just get from a recipe. The ramen itself was delicious, better than almost anything you can get in a restaurant in the US, and we look forward to making it at home. Was really fun, and Nahoko was a wonderful host, would highly recommend to anyone visiting Japan!

Craig, United States of America

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Mar 2020

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!

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!!

Klara Käferböck, Austria

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 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.

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！

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.

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.

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.
