What you'll do
You'll finish this experience as an EXPERT on Japan's most popular soul food, RAMEN! This experience is great for groups, including for team-building!
How many ramen shops are in Tokyo? When exactly was ramen invented? At the Ramen "Rookie" level, you'll get to know this and more, as we go over all the basics.
From here, we'll crank it up a notch - a Ramen "Conversational" level of difficulty. We'll dive deeper - taking a virtual ramen tour at one of Tokyo's most famous ramen shops. While there, we'll discuss how to best enjoy ramen - like a true local. This will include how AND what to order via the ticket machine (when there's no English), as well as ramen do's and don'ts.
We'll also get to see how the ramen is prepared, behind the scenes and in their kitchen!
As part of the last level of difficulty, Ramen "Expert", I'll give some pro tips on how to make an easy soy sauce seasoning, or just upgrade your instant ramen at home. Lastly, we'll watch a mouthwatering video with 19 amazing Tokyo ramen shops (including in popular Shibuya). You can bookmark these for your next Tokyo trip!
At the end, an interactive Q & A session will allow for any lingering ramen questions.
Please reach out if you don't see a convenient date and time in the calendar. I'll create a new one for you!

Frank was a great host and was able to answer all of our questions. I live in Berlin and he was able to give me some food tips here as well! I definitely recommend this for people who want to learn about ramen. Ramen is so diverse. It would be a shame to never explore the word of ramen.

We did this as a family on Thanksgiving because it was also my son's birthday and we could not have a big gathering so this was a really fun way to virtually get together. I have been eating saimin/ramen nearly all my life, and I certainly learned more than I thought I would learn about ramen and how to eat ramen! Frank was also such a great presenter. He was so patient answering our questions about ramen and not about ramen. Ha! Ha! Like, "Are you married?" He was so personable and kind. Frank also followed through on providing all the extra information that came up based on our group needs and desires.

This was a great class for both ramen novices and aficionados alike. Regardless of your ramen knowledge I'm confident you'll come out of this learning something new. This class is a must if you plan to travel to Japan or those looking to expand their foodie knowledge. Frank truly is a ramen expert!
