      Very good explanation and tasty
      The cooking takes many hours so you'll start at the same place like ramen restaurants, at preparing. They also give you interesting informations about Ramen.

      Really good
      The ramen-making class was fantastic! The instructors were friendly, clear, and passionate, making the process fun and easy to follow. I loved the hands-on experience of making my own noodles and broth. The final result was delicious, and I learned so much. Highly recommend! ★★★★★

      A Must-Do Sake Tasting with Outstanding Hospitality
      We had an amazing sake tasting experience here and highly recommend it to anyone visiting. The staff was absolutely outstanding—especially Rin, who was incredibly polite, considerate, and communicated flawlessly in English. Their detailed explanations about the origins and characteristics of each sake made the experience truly memorable. The tasting included eight different varieties of sake, ranging from cooled to ice-cold and even hot sake, showcasing a fantastic variety. Each sake was paired with carefully selected snacks that highlighted how well the sake complemented different flavors. It was a thoughtful touch that elevated the entire experience. The atmosphere was intimate and private, making us feel very well taken care of throughout. This is more than just a tasting; it’s a beautifully curated journey into the world of sake. If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate—this is a must-do!

    This was an amazing experience! It was so wonderful to learn how to make takoyaki and make it myself. I have allergies to octopus, and mentioned it before hand to them on the reservation so they switched the octopus for me to chicken and my friends were able to make it with octopus. He was super kind and used a translator app to explains things my friends and I didn't understand. It was so delicious!

    The introductions are very easy and clear. They show you step by step, how to make takoyaki, even in English. There are many teachers, so each pair has somebody to explain.

    it was a very wholesome experience. very cozy bar and very personal. I expected the experience to be with a group, instead we found ourselves having a one on one experience with a local teaching us and guiding us through the process.
    it was very tasty as well!
