This was an awesome experience from beginning to end! The location was easy to find and we were immediately greeted by Kumi, our amazing guide. She provided very clear instructions, resulting in the best ramen we have had in Japan thus far. Throughout the class, Kumi also shared fun facts about Japanese culture, which always helps one appreciate the culture more. We were given the recipe to make our own ramen at home in the future, as well as a charm related to a unique festival in Osaka, with its own celebration that we briefly learned about. Following the class, Osaka castle is a short walk away to help with the food coma that followed. Highly recommended!
Hands on, fun experience

Fantastic, fun experience. A highlight of my Japan trip and a must do whilst in Osaka if you enjoy cooking. Kaito and Maihiro were welcoming and enthusiastic hosts, both spoke good English and obviously enjoyed the cultural exchange with their guests. Hands on cooking, actually making the noodles from scratch, and a delicious meal to enjoy as a result.
Amazing experience

We had an amazing time at the Ramen Making Studio. From the moment we step foot inside, everyone was so welcoming. Not only do you get a yummy bowl of ramen that you learned to make yourself, you also get educational opportunities about Japanese culture and the history of many of the things you have seen/will see during your time in Japan. 10/10 recommend
This was such a fun experience! Definitely recommend

This ramen class in Osaka was so much fun! The hosts were friendly and made the atmosphere relaxed. The location is not far from Osaka Castle, so it was easy to combine it with some sightseeing. They shared interesting stories about Japanese culture, which made the experience feel authentic and personal. We laughed a lot, enjoyed ourselves, and ended up with some great photos — definitely a highlight of our trip!

This was the most wonderful experience!! The staff were so kind, friendly and fun. We made ramen from scratch and were guided so well during the process in the spotlessly clean kitchen. And it was so delicious! So much fun!! We will definitely be cooking Ramen at home. Definitely one of the biggest highlights of our visit to Japan. 🍜 🇯🇵 ✌️

They've only been open a week so things aren't going smoothly yet. Staff were nervous but everything was more than made up for by their enthusiasm. Explanations were fine in good English. The food itself was a distinct positive experience and more than enough ingredients. All in all a top experience which I would not have missed.
Great experience and off the beaten track!!
