Experience Details
Ramen and gyoza are a match made in Japanese food heaven! These beloved dishes use accessible ingredients, pack a whopping flavor punch, and taste even better after a few drinks. Join Saeko–a professional chef and recipe developer–at her home cooking studio in Osaka to learn how to make creamy chicken ramen, crispy gyoza, then enjoy your handmade meal.
Saeko began her Japanese home cooking operation in 2018, and has taught over 500 international students to date! Extensive travels abroad (21 countries and counting) plus a stint living and working as Japanese chef in Denmark, sparked her interest in connecting with people and their cultures through food. After her journey in Denmark ended, she returned to Osaka–her home city in Japan–and opened her cooking studio. Saeko-san believes in food as a tool for connecting with people, and that learning becomes easier when the process is fun! Joining one of her experiences–this one included–will provide you with valuable cooking skills, newfound knowledge about Japanese ingredients, and more.
Saeko’s cozy home in Osaka serves as your cooking station for the day! Once you’ve received a warm welcome and strapped on your apron, Saeko will lead you to the kitchen where the cooking festivities will begin. You’ll learn how to make creamy ramen from scratch–including the chicken broth, toppings like chashu pork and seasoned egg. Next up, it’s time to get wrapping. You’ll make gyoza wrappers and fillings from start to finish, then pop them into the pan for a fry. Once your edible delights are complete, sit at the table to enjoy your handmade meal alongside Saeko-san and your classmates.
This cooking experience welcomes people of all skill levels and is a great bonding experience–food is a universal language.
