What a wonderful experience! Everything was clearly explained and conducted in a friendly and welcoming environment. It was a real learning experience, and you got to eat your handiwork when you were finished. The host explained and demonstrated everything first and then let's you do it on your own. Very authentic and highly recommended!

When visiting a country, we are always curious about what local life is like. This home cooking tour offers the perfect immersive experience. Our host, Akiko, warmly welcomed us at the station before taking us to her family-owned, third-generation ramen factory. The machines impeccably clean, and we even had the chance to work on the production line, choosing our own ramen to make. Back at Akiko’s home, we prepared multiple authentic Japanese dishes with her detailed, step-by-step instructions. This wasn’t just a cooking demonstration—we were involved in every step, making it both fun and educational. Akiko and her family were incredibly kind, making us feel completely at ease during the 4-5 hours we spent cooking and dining together. She had put a lot of thought and effort into preparing every little detail. By the end, there was an abundance of delicious food and drinks for everyone. Without a doubt, this was the most immersive tour we have ever experienced.
