Great activity for the whole family! We had so much fun making the noodles and then eating them. The hostess was awesome and made sure our 9 year old had fun!

Fun experience in Kyoto!
Super fun class! Our ramen master, Sakura, was fantastic and made it such a memorable experience during our trip to Kyoto. My husband is a pescatarian and they accommodated his dietary restrictions with tofu and fish broth easily (I included these notes when making our reservation). We are excited to make ramen from home now. Highly recommend this!

Great evening in Kyoto
This was an awesome 90 minute cooking class. Since we picked a 5 pm start, it made for a great dinner. All of the staff were super friendly and wonderful with our boys. We would highly recommend a visit!
Operator response

Creating your own broth and noodles from scratch is a great way to kick off the night! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again.

We’re ramen masters now!
So fun! The class size was small so there was plenty of room to work with and the staff was having a lot of fun with the instructions. We got to go through every step of the ramen making process, toppings, noodles, and broth in about an hour and a half. They were great with listing ingredients and accommodating allergies, and our class had all ages having fun with the entire recipe. The experience came with a nice photo in front of their mural and a handwritten thank you note, and we picked up a couple of t-shirts from their decent souvenir selection. NO RAMEN NO LIFE is absolutely correct!!
Operator response
Congratulations on becoming official Ramen Masters! We keep our class sizes small so everyone gets hands-on instruction and personalized guidance from our team. We're so glad you enjoyed the fun, interactive atmosphere. Thank you for visiting us in Kyoto!
