Please come here
This was so much fun and perfect for an early lunch. Sayaka made it so easy and intuitive to make the ramen step by step. She even let me pay them to take a bowl home. They were experimenting with a new recipe for their miso paste by using the blow torch and not only was it so good but it made me want to buy a blow torch. The place was easy to find and they even taught us some Japanese while we were here. Perfect activity for our trip :)
Operator response
What a fun review to read! It's great to hear Sayaka made it easy to follow each step of making the ramen, and that the blowtorch miso paste we were experimenting with tasted so good you're now thinking about getting a torch of your own. We're also happy the place was easy to find and that you got a little Japanese lesson during your visit. Thank you for making our ramen cooking class part of your trip.
