Experience Details
Ever wondered what it's like to be a professional ramen chef in Tokyo? Here’s your chance to find out! Become a ramen-making expert at a professional cooking studio in the heart of Tokyo.

This cooking class will teach you how to make authentic tonkotsu chicken ramen and gyoza from scratch!

Yoshi Shishido is a professionally trained ramen chef and restaurant owner from Tokyo. He has worked at renowned restaurants in Tokyo and even owned his own place in Sydney (Australia).
