Awesome Ramen kitchen morning :) - YuCa is an awesome hot and really lovely lady. She knows her ramen recipe very well. For a small setup she does a great job using the kitchen to her advantage. Definately do it again in the not to distant future. From Curtis

One of the best experiences we booked for our Japan trip! - My girlfriend and I attended one of Yuca’s cooking workshops and we had such an amazing time. Yuca was so welcoming, very informative and a great teacher. We made some of the best tasting ramen and gyoza that we had on our trip and can’t wait to make it again when we get back home.

Wonderful time cooking - I had a wonderful time with Yuca san. She is a very welcoming and energetic host. The class is very small so you can get one on one experience. Learning to make ramen and gyoza from scratch was well worth the trip. Eating it after was the icing on the cake. The studio is a little far from Tokyo. Also there isn’t enough space for each person to work individually so you take turns cooking. But you get a chance to do everything. I highly recommend if you enjoy cooking.

Definitely Worth it - Probably the best I can describe this experiencie is fullfilling, comforting and rewarding. Yuca was such an amazing host and also a great teach. Everything was very straightforward, easy to learn and apply. Also the fact that the group is small is very nice to get to interact with people from different sides of the world with the same tastes as you. The visit to the supermarket was also really cool, as it was an opportunity to see different options of products and buy some with guidance from Yuca. Would definitely recommend!

Five stars from beginning to end! ⭐️ - I did a workshop with my boyfriend in February and we loved the experience! From the very beginning, attention was paid to the small details. The organization was excellent, which allowed us to follow everything clearly and quietly. There was always a great care with hygiene, from hand washing to the concern to keep the space clean and organized. Each place was prepared to the detail, with all the necessary utensils, sticks and materials customized for each step. All our questions were answered with sympathy and availability. The visit to the local supermarket was also a highlight, made the experience even more authentic and special. I emphasize especially the sympathy and the welcoming atmosphere, which made the workshop not only educational, but also very fun. I highly recommend!

Yuca is amazing! First of... - Yuca is amazing! First of all, she is super knowledgeable to not only how to cook ramen and gyoza but to places you need to check and recommendations on foods of all sorts. She was really kind and made the class entertaining while she was a lovely host. She provided tea, all the ingredients, the recipes, and shared the history behind ramen and all the ingredients. 100% recommend!

The ideal cooking class! - I travel a lot and I often try to squeeze in a cooking class when I visit a new country. This time it was YUCa's ramen and gyoza class and it was easily as good, if not better than any other class I have taken. The class was well structured, the food was delicious, and the host couldn't have been more friendly. Ramen was on my list to make for a while and thanks to YUCa I feel pretty confident about it now as she made it seem easy. Some "easy" classes I have attended in the past were only so because of some shortcuts and things being pre-prepared but that was not the case here. We did every step of the process ourselves and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. If I make it back to Tokyo again I will probably try one of her other classes.
