Full Description
Ramen is more than just a comfort food in Japan—it’s a national obsession. In this class, you’ll experience ramen like never before by making it yourself from scratch, using Nagoya’s regional specialty: aka-miso.
Nagoya has long been known for its rich fermentation culture, with many producers of miso, soy sauce, and mirin dating back centuries. Aka-miso, or red miso, has a robust and savory flavor profile that pairs beautifully with ramen noodles and vegetables. It’s distinctly different from the sweeter white miso used in Kyoto, offering a heartier, more intense taste.
The experience begins with a warm welcome and a brief introduction to the ingredients and history of miso in Japanese cuisine. You’ll then move into the hands-on portion of the class, where your instructor will guide you step-by-step in preparing a flavorful ramen broth, selecting vegetables, seasoning your soup, and assembling the perfect bowl of miso ramen.
Unlike just watching a demonstration, this class is fully interactive—you’ll be cooking alongside your instructor and encouraged to customize your bowl to suit your tastes. From adjusting the saltiness of the broth to adding your favorite toppings, the final dish will be uniquely yours.
After cooking, you’ll sit down to taste your creation, served piping hot. As you enjoy your ramen, you’ll have the chance to chat with your instructor and fellow guests about Japanese food culture, Nagoya sightseeing spots, and even share stories about your own country.
This is a memorable culinary experience that combines cooking, learning, and cultural connection—all in the heart of Nagoya.
