A must while in Kyoto

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Kyoto! I took the ramen-making class with my two kids, and we all agreed it was one of our favorite experiences in Japan. The class was intimate, hands-on, and so much fun from start to finish. The instructors were incredibly friendly, patient, and made everyone feel welcome, regardless of cooking experience. They explained each step clearly and made the entire process interactive and enjoyable. The best part was sitting down to enjoy a delicious bowl of ramen that we helped create under the guidance of a master chef. It was not only a great meal but also a memorable cultural experience that we'll be talking about for years. If you're visiting Kyoto and looking for something unique that's fun for families, couples, or even solo travelers, I can't recommend this class enough. It's absolutely worth it, 10/10! We would do it again in a heartbeat.

Very fun activity

This is a wonderful activity in a part of the restaurant that actually makes Ramen to serve at the restaurant. It is a small facility and we all participated in the Ramen noodle making process. The activity includes lunch and a drink. It says that the activity is one hour, but plan on two hours because you walk around the corner and eat at the restaurant.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the hands on experience of making ramen noodles in the same kitchen where we prepare them every day. We love giving our guests a genuine behind the scenes look at the process! Thank you for pointing out the timing as well, it's helpful for future guests to know they should allow a little extra time to relax and enjoy their meal. We hope to welcome you back for another delicious ramen experience the next time you're in Kyoto!

Authentic ramen making experience in Kyoto.

Excellent hands on ramen making workshop. Small private experience at an authentic small ramen restaurant. My teenage daughters had a lot of fun helping to make the ramen noodles. The instructors were outstanding and very friendly. Lunch was included & delicious. Has Vegan options which was great for us. I highly recommend this workshop.
