Make a vegan noodle-and-dumpling meal in a private Arashiyama home setting.
Why we chose it
A reason to go.
Choose this for making two familiar comfort foods without having to negotiate a meat-based default menu. The home setting offers a quieter alternative to a large cooking studio.
The experience
What you’ll do.
Cook vegan ramen and vegan gyoza.
Eat lunch or dinner according to the session.
English instruction, recipes, aprons and tea/water are listed.
A little context
More to take in.
The home setting is part of the choice, not simply a different classroom. The host has a dog, so animal allergies are an important consideration alongside food requirements.
Our recommendation
Choose the right experience.
What to choose
Private vegan dashi ramen and gyoza class
Who it suits
Plant-based travelers and private groups already spending time in Arashiyama.
When to choose something else
Choose Yukari’s seven-dish class for broader vegetable cooking, or a studio if you prefer a pet-free venue.
A private shojin-inspired lesson makes vegetables and tofu the starting point for a fuller understanding of a meal.

A rolled omelette, dressed vegetables, tempura and soup ask for different kitchen skills. Bringing them together as lunch makes Cooking Sun’s bento class a useful first lesson in composing a Japanese meal.
Mochi ice cream, dorayaki and mitarashi dango bring wrapping, pancake-style batter and sweet-salty glaze into one lesson. That contrast makes the sample menu appealing to cooks interested in textures as much as sweetness.
