Ramen making with a chef
Tonkotsu ramen soup takes more than 8 hours to make and chicken soup takes at least 4 hours I would say. So we are making “shoyu” (soy sauce) ramen soup in my experience. And, let’s learn more about “Japanese ramen” where is it from originally, how many years it’s been since ramen was landed in Japan, what kind of flavors there, and what are the authentic ramen cooking method at home. So I am excited to share with you my home style Shoyu ramen soup recipe that I have created based on the recipe I have grown up eating! We’ll also make gyoza with lots of cabbage and chives, then pan fried serve bottom side up! Very classic Japanese gyoza ingredients and method of cooking. I will ask everyone to use your hands, chopping, form gyoza, and present the dishes we make. Lots of tips to enjoy Japanese cooking much more, and cooking tools. We will cook from all from the beginning within the class timeframe. My experiences are hands-on cooking followed by my short cooking demos. My passion is let my guests to to experience and know the real Japanese culture. Looking forward to having you all!

Shibuya Stray Cat
Visit a few iconic staples of Shibuya's nightlife scene. We'll start at "Vive La Vie" which is a hidden restaurant/bar, ran by a former photographer Michiko who turned chef started it 15 years ago. Then move on to the watering holes of drunks' alley ( called "Nonbei-Yokocho" ), an area with more than 30 bars to toast with local drunks. If we still are full on, we could hit a bar "Point 66", which is owned by Mr. Maezono a.k.a Mar-chan who has created a legendary "328" in Nishi-Azabu, very first club in Tokyo in 1979, or "Bubbles" which is a hideaway in Shibuya's secret district Maruyama-cho. See how it goes...
