Wonderful Japanese Cooking Experience
Want a authentic Japanese cooking experience? Look no further. This Ramen and Gyoza cooking class is not only informative, it is a fun family activity. We learned how to make a very flavorful Miso ramen broth from scratch. It was interesting to see how to mix different miso to inhance the flavor. We also learned the proper technique to fold gyoza. I can tell you, it was an amusing part of the class as our first attempts of making gyoza was laughable. Edible, but nonetheless, hilarious. We are used to eating gyoza at restaurants in Oahu but never made it ourselves. Now we can! Lunch was delicious and our instructors were very knowledgeable and kind. Chef Kazu also instructed us on how to make matcha tea. It was my first time making matcha tea with a whisk. He pared our matcha tea with yummy manju. The sweetness of the manju is a perfect balance with the taste of the matcha. Many thanks to the gracious owner Shun, knowledgeable Chef Kazu, and sweet interpreter Hitomi. Many blessings to all of you and we will carry our wonderful time together in our hearts.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the Ramen and Gyoza cooking class. It’s such a great memory that we were able to learn how to make miso ramen broth and fold gyoza, and that the first attempts at making gyoza brought a bit of laughter! It was truly a pleasure to spend time with your family, and we’re so glad we were able to share such a fun experience together. I’m also very happy that I could offer a warm welcome. Your feedback means a lot to us and is a great encouragement, and we’re so grateful to have made such wonderful memories together. We hope you continue to enjoy making ramen, gyoza, and matcha tea, and that you will have many more delicious experiences ahead. We look forward to the chance to meet you again. Please do come visit us again the next time you're in Japan!

Authentic and Special
Wow! Great experience. We cooked in a traditional Japanese home. So special and intimate. We learned a great deal from the chef and his interpreter. Would recommend to anyone who wants the authentic experience.
Response from the operator: I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the ramen and gyoza experience. It was a pleasure sharing such a wonderful time with you both. Thank you so much for your kind feedback. I hope you’ll try making them for your children at home, too. I’m looking forward to seeing you again!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tokyo Small-Group Ramen, Gyoza & Matcha Class with a Pro Chef: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Tokyo Small-Group Ramen, Gyoza & Matcha Class with a Pro Chef cost?
+
Prices start at $14000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tokyo Small-Group Ramen, Gyoza & Matcha Class with a Pro Chef take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Tokyo Small-Group Ramen, Gyoza & Matcha Class with a Pro Chef worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tokyo Small-Group Ramen, Gyoza & Matcha Class with a Pro Chef?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tokyo Small-Group Ramen, Gyoza & Matcha Class with a Pro Chef suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tokyo Small-Group Ramen, Gyoza & Matcha Class with a Pro Chef?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tokyo Small-Group Ramen, Gyoza & Matcha Class with a Pro Chef start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
