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.

Amazing Gyoza & Ramen Cooking Class Experience!

We had such a fantastic time at this cooking class! From the moment we arrived, the instructors made us feel welcome and comfortable. They guided us step by step through making delicious gyoza and miso ramen, and even taught us how to prepare matcha tea the proper way. Every step was translated into english and at the end they also handed out the recipe. We not only enjoyed the meals we created but left with skills we can now use at home. This class was a highlight of our trip, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a personal, unique and tasty experience!

We look forward to welcoming you back, and we can’t wait to share another fun experience together next time!
