Learn to Make Home-style Tempura Udon and Gyoza in Tokyo (2.5 hours)
- Make handmade udon, crispy tempura, and gyoza from scratch
- Choose pork, shrimp, or vegetable fillings for your gyoza
- Take home an English recipe booklet to recreate your meal
What to expect
Udon, tempura, and gyoza are a match made in culinary heaven—and you’ll learn to make them all in this hands-on cooking class in Tokyo! Guided by Emi, a passionate local cook, you’ll start your adventure at a cozy studio near the station. After meeting your host, you’ll roll up your sleeves and dive into making everything from scratch: hand-kneading udon noodles, preparing dashi, frying crispy tempura, and folding gyoza with your preferred filling—minced pork, shrimp, or vegetables. Once everything is ready, sit down to enjoy your handmade meal together. You’ll also receive a recipe booklet in English so you can recreate the dishes at home. During the busy spring and autumn seasons, the studio tends to fill up quickly—so groups of three or more are encouraged to book early.

Emi was a wonderful teacher. My 15 year old daughter and I enjoyed cooking side by side in wonderful conversation with a hot cup of tea. We felt right at home! Emi was great at communicating with us. She provided clear traveling instructions and shared the recipe for cooking udon, gyoza, and tempura. I would highly recommend this class!
Emi was a wonderful teacher. We had a delicious meal that tasted all the better for having made it ourselves under her keen guidance.
Emi is such an open, curious and energetic person. She provided not only her cooking skills but also hearty conversation, invaluable advice and local knowledge. I am a socially anxious guy but I felt absolutely comfortable and cozy during the class. The recipes were surprisingly simple and straightforward. We’ve never thought udon, gyoza and tempura can be so accessible and easy to make at home. Emi patiently guided us through every step and the result was absolutely delicious. This class is definitely a must and highly recommended!
Emi is very friendly. My daughter and I had a great time and we learn a lots of good tips for home cooking!!!! definitely come next time for next class!!!
Lovely private Japanese cooking class. Emi was very lovely and friendly,she was very attentive explaining all the steps as well as taking care of every detail. At the end we had a lovely chat with her about Japanese culture and we learned some interesting detail. Highly recommend if you want to learn how to cook some Japanese dishes in a friendly and familiar environment:)
Thank you Teacher Emi so much. Thanks for teaching us and letting us experience traditional flavors. More importantly, we did very slowly but Teacher Emi didn't think we were stupid. Teacher Emi are very nice and helpful. Thank you so much and let's have petty photos. This course was very enjoyable for all of us, and we tasted delicious udon, tempura, and gyoza.
Emi was a wonderful host and we had a wonderful time with Emi learning how to cool traditional udon.
Emi was a great teacher, we made really tasty food and learnt a lot, we had our anniversary doing and really recommend her for a fun and interesting time!
We recently attended an udon-making and Gyoza class and it was an incredible experience. The host welcomed us into her humble home, creating an inviting and warm atmosphere. She even prepared hot green tea for us, adding a lovely touch to our visit. To make the experience even more personalized, she asked about our music preferences and played our favorite tunes from her laptop. The host's friendliness made us feel at ease, allowing for engaging conversations and cultural exchanges. It was more than just a cooking class; it was a beautiful cultural immersion that we cherish. Highly recommended!
Our lesson was with Emi, she is amazing! Her conversational English is great and she is such a pleasure to be around. We found ourselves wanting to continue our conversations with her even after our meal was done. Emi is so welcoming. We would do another class with her in a heartbeat! This class is great for beginners.
