Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! We love welcoming families, and many parents tell us this class becomes one of their favorite memories in Japan.

For group classes, we kindly recommend the experience for children aged 5 and above. At this age, kids can usually follow instructions, stay safely at the cooking station, and enjoy the experience comfortably with other guests.

Each child joins as a full participant at the standard ¥20,000 per person — their own cooking station, their own ramen and sushi to make and eat, plus a recipe card and photos to take home, just like the adults.

For younger children (4 years old and under), the cooking activity can be challenging due to shorter attention spans and the toddler stage, where it may be difficult to sit still for longer periods. For safety and comfort, we are unable to accept toddlers in our group classes.

However, if you are joining with a younger child, our private class is a wonderful option. In a private session, your family can participate at your own pace, take breaks whenever needed, and enjoy the experience without worrying about other guests. We can also make space for a stroller in the private room.

If your child has allergies or food restrictions, please let us know in advance so we can adjust ingredients whenever possible.

Ramen Cooking Tokyo is the only cooking class in Japan that pairs hands-on ramen and sushi making with a sommelier-curated, dish-by-dish sake flight (three types — junmai, junmai ginjo and junmai daiginjo). You make both dishes by hand in one 2.5–3 hour session — a complete Japanese food experience.

No problem! If you cannot eat raw fish, we can torch the sushi with a burner. For those who cannot eat pork, we offer chicken broth as an alternative. We can also accommodate vegetarian guests with advance notice (at least 48 hours; the menu is a little more limited). Please note: we are currently unable to accommodate vegan or Halal diets.

Not at all! This class is designed for complete beginners. Our friendly instructors guide you every step of the way.

You make a full Japanese meal by hand and learn the technique behind it. The standard course is ramen and sushi — a Tokyo-style shoyu (soy-sauce) ramen with its broth, and hand-shaped nigiri — and you can also choose ramen & gyoza, or all three. You'll hear the stories and culture behind the dishes, enjoy a sommelier-curated sake pairing, and take home a recipe card. Guests often say they leave having learned both how to cook and a little about Japan itself.

Yes — it's a favourite for couples, and for birthdays, anniversaries and honeymoons. The small group (max 8 guests), the warm hosts and the relaxed, home-like setting make it feel personal rather than touristy, and you cook, eat and toast with sake together. A private class is also available if you'd like the studio to yourselves.

Yes — slurping ramen is completely normal in Japan and even shows you're enjoying it. You don't have to finish everything, though it's appreciated when you can. We'll walk you through these little dining customs during the class, so you can eat with confidence anywhere in Japan.
