Why we chose it
A reason to go.

The experience
What you’ll do.
Prepare ramen, gyoza and fried rice.
Cook with a ramen professional and English-speaking guide.
Two drinks and downloadable recipes are listed.
A little context
More to take in.
The interest lies in the differences between the dishes as well as the final spread: a bowl, a dumpling and a pan of rice each ask something different of a cook.

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.
