Kyoto Ramen & Gyoza Cooking Class

The Kyoto Ramen & Gyoza Cooking Class is a hands-on culinary session in Kyoto that teaches participants to prepare two staples of Japanese home cooking: ramen broth with noodles and pan-fried gyoza dumplings. Ramen as a dish has deep regional variation across Japan, and Kyoto-style ramen is typically characterised by a light, soy-based chicken broth. The class is conducted in a small-group format, guided by a local instructor.

Participants learn knife skills, broth preparation, dough folding for gyoza, and plating techniques before sitting down to eat what they have made. The session covers all ingredients and equipment, and no prior cooking experience is required. Tickets are available for various time slots and suit solo travellers, couples, and small groups visiting Kyoto.
