Ramen & Gyoza Cooking Class with Supermarket Visit

About this experience

Ramen and Gyoza Cooking Class with Supermarket Visit is a hands-on culinary class in Tokyo that teaches participants to prepare two staple Japanese dishes from scratch. The class begins with a guided supermarket visit, where an instructor walks through ingredient selection, covering noodle types, dashi stock components, and gyoza wrappers alongside typical fillings such as pork, cabbage, and ginger. Back in the kitchen, participants make ramen broth, cook noodles, and fold and pan-fry gyoza before sitting down to eat what they have prepared. The format suits beginners and requires no prior cooking experience. Booking covers the supermarket visit, all ingredients, hands-on instruction, and the shared meal. For more things to do in Tokyo, the city offers a wide range of food and cultural activities across its neighbourhoods.
