# Ramen Making from Scratch +Akihabara Tour –Tokyo Cooking Class

**Guidekin's take:** Make ramen noodles from scratch, prepare broth and chashu pork, and explore an Akihabara grocery store. Lunch and downloadable photos are included; at least two people must book together, and vegetarian or vegan options are unavailable. 4.99 from 144 reviews at €108 per person for 3h 30m.

In our comparison: #4 of 21 in Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Don’t just eat at ramen shops while you’re in Tokyo–why not learn how to make an authentic bowl of ramen at home? Make the noodles from scratch, prepare a rich broth, and learn how to cook the chashu pork for Jiro-style ramen. In Akihabara, discover Japanese seasonings and foods at a local grocery store.

• Practice cooking in a conveniently-located studio in central Tokyo
• Receive digital photos from the class afterwards as a souvenior
• Learn how to navigate a Japanese grocery store and about local ingredients
• Approximately 20-minute Akihabara walking tour + 20-minute grocery store tour

Notes:
If you let us know more than 48 hours in advance, we can change the chashu from pork to chicken.

The transportation from Suehirocho Station to the studio is not included in the tour. Please use your own Suica or other IC card when taking the train. If you don’t have one, the guide will help you buy a ticket.
