Ramen consistently ranks near as one of the most popular Japanese foods, but it can also be one of the least accessible for those with dietary restrictions. Meat is often used, and noodles are made from wheat flour, posing a problem for gluten-free people. Thankfully, this noodle dish is also incredibly versatile, and with the right guidance, you can make a bowl to suit your liking and dietary needs.

This Customizable Ramen Cooking Class in Kyoto can accommodate gluten-free, halal, pescetarian, vegetarian, and vegan options, so you can make a delicious bowl of ramen no matter your dietary restrictions.

For those who request a no meat option, tofu will be used instead of chicken, and vegans can omit the egg. There is also an option to make gluten-free noodles out of rice flour rather than wheat flour (note that the gluten-free noodles take a little longer to make, and the resulting texture of the noodles depends on the weather conditions).

You'll start by making the noodles from scratch as you knead, roll, and cut them while learning the techniques to get the perfect chewy texture. Then, you'll pan-fry some tasty chicken (or tofu) and prepare it as a juicy topping.

The soup broth is pre-prepared by chefs using a recipe they have perfected over 30 years. You can then customize the broth using various sauces and soup bases. Get creative and mix a ramen broth that's exactly to your liking!

Finally, you'll boil the noodles and arrange the bowl, topping it off with ingredients such as scallions, chicken (or tofu), a beautifully runny egg, and chili flakes (if you like it hot). When your bowl is complete, it's time to relax and dig in as you savor the aromas and flavors of your handmade ramen.
