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.

Activity Details:
For this experience, we've got everything set up, from the soup and ramen sauce to the fragrant oil and chashu. First things first, we'll craft semi-soft boiled eggs. Then, we'll dive into prepping ramen toppings, followed by slicing and combining the ingredients for our gyoza, which we'll then deftly fold. After that, we'll infuse the chashu with its delightful flavors and sizzle up the gyoza to perfection.
The grand finale includes crafting the soup, boiling the noodles, and the oh-so-cool noodle draining technique that never fails to impress. Finally, we'll artfully assemble the toppings onto the ramen. Trust me, learning the ins and outs of ramen creation will undoubtedly deepen your love for this dish.
Unique Highlights of this Experience:
Please book for two or more participants.
Our ramen chef instructor comes with a wealth of experience, having run restaurants abroad and trained in renowned Japanese ramen havens. Finding someone with such a diverse background to teach in English is truly a rarity in Japan. Plus, you're in for a treat with insider stories and amusing anecdotes from the ramen world.

★★★★★We had a great time cooking together with Yoshi and Amo! Both were very knowledgeable about the things they teached us! I am quite the hobby cook and Yoshi gave me lots of tips an insights how to make a really great creamy vegan miso ramen at hoke. I am looking forward to try out his recipe. I really want to highlight that Yoshi did a great job coming up with a fully vegan ramen that did not lack any depth and flavour. Also the toppings were great! On thing you could critic is that we sadly did not cook the broth together. I understand that the meat based broth has to cook for several hours so it would not be feasible to do this for a cooking class. But I think that it would actually be possible to fully cook the vegan broth together as it does not have to cook for hours like the meat based one. Nonetheless as I already said, we had a great time and the food we cooked was delicious. The ramen was the best during my entire trip!

★★★★★Our group had a really magnificent experience, including making our own delicious food and getting insights from a great cook. The atmosphere was very wholesome and that is most likely because of Yoshi & Amo. They create a warm and pleasant space where you can enjoy the course to the fullest. Also, we now know how to make delicious Ramen and Gyoza and we are very tempted to try this when we are back home. It was an awesome experience and we thank Yoshi & Amo for creating this highlight of our last week in Tokio.

★★★★★The cooking experience was amazing! Time went by so fast as we learned and experienced so much. Trying to make gyozas was fun and especially the vegan ramen broth was surprising and tasted gorgeous. We hope we are able to cook it at least half as good back at home. Thank you! :)

★★★★★Yoshi and Amo - Thank you!!! No trip to Tokyo would be complete without a delightful morning spent with you two in your lovely home. You are fun, informative and caring. Our lunch was amazing - the Ramen and Gyoza were delicious and we learned so much. Visiting you in your home was such a treat. Your class, offered in the morning, in an accessible Tokyo neighborhood, was also perfect for our schedule as it left us the afternoon to see more of the city. Hugs to both of you.❤️

★★★★★Our ramen and gyoza cookery experience was better than we could have imagined! Amo and Yoshi looked after us so well. They met us at the station and guided us to their wonderful home. It was just the two of us doing the course so lots of time for chatting and learning all about Japanese cooking. The egg peeling competition was fun (I won!), and seeing fresh noodles being made. The ramen was the best I have ever tasted and we have since been emailed the full recipe so we can try it at home. The gyoza were great fun to make too and more straightforward than I realised, can't wait to try to make them ourselves. Overall, if you want a fun, friendly, educational experience where you can learn from a fantastic chef (who speaks excellent English), look no further. We are SO glad we chose this course!!

★★★★★Our cooking experience with Amo and Yoshi was absolutely incredible! It was lovely being invited into their home and taught the tips and tricks of making Ramen and gyoza. As it was a private class during it we got to have a chat, have a little egg peeling competition and eat the most delicious bowl of Ramen! We also got some recommendations on what to do with the rest of our time in Tokyo. I couldn't recommend this cooking class highly enough. If you're ever in Tokyo you need to experience this!

Response from TSUYOSHI
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. While many people have enjoyed eating ramen worldwide, the number who have authentically prepared it is indeed quite small, perhaps just 1%. You're now part of that exclusive group! Congratulations! I'm thrilled to hear about your passion for ramen, and I hope it continues to spread. It was a pleasure spending this wonderful time with you. Until next time!
