My wife and I have done a few cooking events over the course of our travels, but none with our kids in tow. At ages 7 and 5 we were a little concerned that five hours would be tough for them, but Akiko was a great host and made sure the kids stayed engaged or occupied in some way all along. We started in her brother's third-generation noodle shop, learning about what sets ramen noodles apart from other noodles and then what variances there are within the ramen set. While you don't make the dough yourself you do get to choose from several pre-made types and you pick the thickness and shape (wavey or straight) and watch them get made in a pretty cool pressing and cutting machine. We chose 4 different types (there are no bad choices btw). After the factory you stroll about 5-7 minutes to Akiko's home; walking along a stream-lined path and feeding Koi fish if you choose (so our stroll took 20 minutes as the kids really enjoyed the fish feeding). At Akiko's home the kids played with leggos and matchbox cars while we made homemade gyoza (chopping, mixing, stuffing, folding and frying) - getting the kids involved at opportune moments. Akiko provides great instructions, including printed copies to take home - these are recipes handed down from her grandmother who lived above their noodle factory. Following the gyoza we were on to the ramen broth, searing the pork with a blow torch (always fun!), soft boiling the eggs, mixing her premade stock together with some new ingredients...and then it was a quick boil of the noodles, adorn your bowl with your chosen toppings and then slurp away! The gyoza and ramen were top notch, as good as you'd find in any restaurant. Eating in Akiko's livingroom, meeting her family and cute little dog, really made it feel more like a dinner gathering of friends versus a cooking lesson. All in all it was a really cool experience if you like ramen and want to delve a bit deeper into how it's made and what an authentic Japanese dinner experience is like.

If you’re a ramen foodie or just curious about ramen, this tour takes you from flour to flavor! You start in a third generation ramen factory learning from the guide’s brother, Taka, the basic factory steps of making ramen noodles. But then he takes it further. You learn how different levels of hydration and how different types of flour can be combined to customize a noodle to a shop owner’s preference. That would normally be enough but then Akiko takes it further. You take the noodle texture and thickness of your choice to her house and make an amazing bowl of ramen using traditional family techniques. The hospitality is incredible. The cooking,, learning, sharing, and new friends makes for an incredible experience. Highly recommended!
