I experienced it with my children. RENGE spoon painting was very fun, cultural, and the best souvenir. In addition, the ramen cooking experience made me feel like I had become the head chef of a ramen restaurant. The taste of the ramen I cooked myself was exceptional. I highly recommend this experience to you.
