What to expect

COZY Kitchen cooking studio

This experience takes place at the cooking studio COZY Kitchen in Kyoto, where you focus on three staple Japanese dishes: ramen, gyoza, and fried rice. The format suits beginners and food lovers and works well for couples, families, friends, or solo travelers who want a structured, step-by-step class.

Features

• The hands-on cooking class to make ramen, gyoza, and fried rice from scratch forms the core of the session, with your ramen master breaking each dish into simple stages so you can follow along confidently. As you cook, you also hear about the rich history of ramen and how it became a staple of Japanese food culture.
• Guidance from a ramen master and an English-speaking local guide certified by MagicalTrip ensures you understand every instruction clearly and can ask questions at any time. The atmosphere is designed to be fun and easy to follow, helping you connect with others in the group through cooking and food.
• Two complimentary drinks, spirits or soft, are included during the class so you can sip while you fold gyoza, stir your fried rice, or taste your ramen broth. This gives you time to relax between steps and enjoy the social side of the experience.
• Downloadable recipes to recreate the dishes at home are provided after the class, so you can repeat your ramen, gyoza, and fried rice on your own or impress friends and family later. Photos taken by the guide and sent via email capture you in action at COZY Kitchen, giving you a record of your progress at the stove and around the table.

Wrapping up

Once you have cooked and eaten your ramen, gyoza, and fried rice, the session concludes at COZY Kitchen, where you finish your last sips of the included drinks before heading out with your downloadable recipes and emailed photos.
