The place where you cook is very very small and unappealing. The chef speaks no English so there is s translator there. The kitchen is tiny and we had to go in one by one to wash our hands. Food was just okay.

This class was intimate, authentic, and personalized. Max group is 6 people so you get a lot of attention. The hosts were warm, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel truly special. Shiori is the best! The ramen was delicious (better than many restaurants we tried!), and learning to make it ourselves was such a fun experience. A must-do!
