Ramen Cooking Tokyo Showcases Intimate Ramen & Sushi Class for U.S. Travelers in the Heart of Tokyo

Small-group, English-only class combines ramen and sushi making with premium sake pairing and warm Japanese hospitality; consistently rated 5/5 by hundreds of travelers.

TOKYO, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ramen Cooking Tokyo, a small independent cooking studio in central Tokyo, is inviting more travelers from the United States to join its signature ramen and sushi cooking class in the waterfront Tsukishima neighborhood.

The experience runs about 2.5–3 hours, is limited to a maximum of eight guests, and is taught entirely in English. In a cozy, home-like kitchen just five minutes from Tsukishima Station, participants learn to make soy sauce ramen with rich pork broth and hand-pressed nigiri sushi from scratch, then sit down together to enjoy their dishes with a curated sake pairing. According to the official website, the class is designed to be beginner-friendly and open to families, with children welcome alongside adults.

"Beyond Cooking, Feel the Connection"

Ramen Cooking Tokyo describes its philosophy as "Beyond Cooking, Feel the Connection." In Japan, sharing a meal is presented not only as eating but as "creating bonds, sharing stories, and building memories that last a lifetime," and the studio's kitchen is designed around that idea.

A typical class follows three simple steps: a warm welcome with drinks and introductions; a culture segment that covers the history and ingredients behind ramen and sushi; and an extended hands-on cooking session. Guests then gather around the table to enjoy their handmade ramen and sushi together. An English recipe card and photos from the experience are included so visitors can recreate the dishes at home.

Menu, drinks and dietary notes

The standard menu focuses on Tokyo-style soy sauce ramen made with a pork-based broth, paired with classic nigiri sushi using fresh fish. For guests who cannot eat pork, chicken broth is available as an alternative. For those who are uncomfortable with raw fish, toppings can be lightly torched on request. The studio notes that it is not able to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, halal or gluten-free requests, and that sushi toppings cannot be changed to vegetarian alternatives.

Drinks are a key part of the experience. Included in the price are three types of premium Japanese sake selected by a sake sommelier, Japanese beer and soft drinks, all offered on an unlimited basis during the meal. The studio's FAQ explains that ingredients, equipment, the meal itself, drinks, recipes and photos are all included in the class fee so that guests do not need to bring anything other than a camera or phone.

Classes are marketed as suitable for complete beginners. The FAQ notes that many participants have never cooked Japanese food before and that instructors demonstrate each step clearly. Children are explicitly welcome, and the team mentions adjusting tasks to keep things fun and safe for younger guests, while asking parents to help maintain a calm environment for everyone in the small group.
