I grew up eating this style of ramen broth since I was a kid. I grew up in a country side so ramen was a comforting food that was always made at home. Ramen is such a unique Japanese food though because it is the most creative Japanese food. Every ramen shop has its own creative ramen broth and toppings. In my ramen cooking class, the most important priority is my guests can recreate this dish at their kitchen. So ingredients is quite accessible and the cooking process contains many small steps, but I want to make it as simple focused on things that are important for the best taste. I am excited to share with you my home-style Shoyu ramen soup recipe that I have created based on the recipe I grew up eating! We’ll also make gyoza with lots of cabbage and chives, then pan-fry it bottom side up! Very classic Japanese gyoza ingredients and method of cooking. I will ask everyone to use their hands to chop, form gyoza, and present the dishes we make. There are lots of tips to learn more about Japanese culinary culture. I look forward to having you all! *Ramen noodle-making is not included in this class, BUT I’ll share you a surprising tip to make ramen noodles using Capellini!

Let's find a beautiful, reasonably-priced kimono. Usually it costs more than $2,800 for a kimono. However secondhand ones are priced from $75, and they can be beautiful and really unique. I'll show you my favorite secondhand shop where is in near SHINJUKU, and the treasure hunt will begin for kimono, belt, jacket, shoes, and bags. I'll ask you specific questions to understand your style in order to advise and help you find unique and edgy pieces. I recommend you choose a vintage kimono if you are under 5' 2" tall and 121 pounds. Vintage ones were worn by people in the past, who were smaller, which is why the kimonos are very small but cute and beautiful. If it's not your size, you can use it decoratively, as a tapestry. However, there are also modern kimonos. I recommend that you choose a modern style if you are tall. If you'd like to take a lunch after this event, I can guide you to restaurant which is Okinawan food. This restaurant is reasonable and casual. You can take unique and traditional island food.

We will explore the greater part of Shinjuku, the busiest area in Tokyo to show you popular spots as well as hidden gems. We'll have a couple of bites during the city walk.

Throughout the evening, we’ll taste different Japanese foods and drinks, learn about our pub food culture and history, and spend time with other foodies. Also, we offer an optional sake tasting session where we will try 5+ different craft & seasonal sake at our own sake bar in Shinjuku before the tour at 3:30pm (optional & price not included). *We may have extra spots available even if you don't see availability.
