Hi, I’m Aki—your Tokyo mom for the day.
Join a warm, home-style cooking experience where you’ll make ramen and gyoza from scratch in a small, friendly group.

This is more than a cooking class. It’s a chance to slow down, cook together, and share a genuine moment in Tokyo. I’ll guide you step by step—from kneading noodles to preparing a rich, comforting broth and handmade dumplings.

Many guests say it feels like visiting a local home rather than joining a typical class.

As a former backpacker and mother of three, I love connecting with people from around the world and sharing everyday Japanese food culture in a personal way.

Whether you’re visiting as a couple, with family, or with friends, you’ll feel relaxed and welcome here.

Vegan and other dietary options are available upon request. Please let me know when booking.

What to expect

You’ll make ramen and gyoza from scratch in a small, hands-on group. Together, we’ll knead and cut your own noodles and learn how to wrap gyoza dumplings—one of the most fun and popular parts of the experience. You’ll also learn how to cook them to a perfect crispy finish, a technique many guests find especially useful and rewarding. Using natural ingredients—no MSG or artificial flavorings—you’ll prepare a rich and comforting broth and explore Japanese umami through katsuobushi (bonito flakes), kombu (kelp), and shiitake mushrooms, discovering how simple elements create deep, layered flavors. The ramen features a rich base made with chicken and pork, enhanced with the deep umami of katsuobushi—bringing a true taste of Japanese home cooking. Throughout the experience, I’ll guide you step by step in a relaxed, home-style atmosphere, so even beginners can feel comfortable and enjoy cooking. By the end, you won’t just have a bowl of ramen—you’ll also enjoy freshly made gyoza and a memorable experience of cooking, sharing, and connecting in Tokyo. A vegan option is available upon request.
