5.00My family just had a blast with Kyoko and Hioroko for the cooking class! And we really enjoyed the tour with Bunga and Saori. My kids loved every minute of making and prepping the ramen. The tour through Akihabara and super market was really interesting and all of our hosts were super friendly, warm and informative. As we were slurping our ramen, our kids were already asking when we can do it again! Thank you for making our trip to Japan so memorable.
200% would do again!

5.00It was a fun and great learning experience for my daughter and I. Our tour guide, Saori was very nice and toured us around Akihabara. That was helpful as each places in Tokyo can be overwhelming. She asked us what we were interested in learning about the place and was very knowledgeable. She then took us grocery shopping for the items we need to make ramen. We took a short train ride to their studio and met our instructor, Hiroko. She was very patient with us as we learned how to make our own ramen noodles from scratch, along with the broth, pork belly and vegetables. The studio was very clean as well. It was a memorable experience and glad my daughter and I were able to do their class. We can’t wait to make ramen at home!
This by far the was best...

5.00This by far the was best cooking class we have taken. The whole adventure from beginning to end was excellent. The kitchen and staff were great and spoke good English. Our guide was full of so much information. She allowed us to feel like a local. She took the time to introduce us to many of the vendors and explain the history of the sites we were seeing. We especially enjoyed our encounter with the 95 year old gentleman in the market. She was so good at explaining the unique fruits and vegetables in the local grocery store. Upon arrival at the kitchen we were met with an equally great host. So many questions were answered and the actual making of the ramen noodles exceeded any and all expectations. I can not give this experience more than five stars but if I could it would be a solid ten.
