Escape to Nagano, Japan’s snow-kissed highlands with an unforgettable ramen-making experience that’s as satisfying as it is fun. This hands-on class brings the rustic, comforting flavors of mountain cuisine to life, teaching guests how to build a rich, vegetable-forward broth using local Shinshu miso and kombu. You’ll roll hearty stone-ground whole wheat noodles, discover the secrets to frying up crispy seasonal vegetable tempura (hello, sweet potato and shiitake), and perfect the art of layering flavors for a show-stopping bowl. Top it all off with your choice of apple-glazed pork or crispy tofu, plus tempting extras like onsen egg, sesame chili oil, and nori for the full ramen shop experience.

No fancy skills or experience needed—just come ready to roll up your sleeves. This class is designed for everyone, whether you’re a hands-on enthusiast or a curious beginner who prefers to watch and nibble. All the gear and ingredients are provided. It’s a fun, relaxed environment where you’ll learn new techniques, meet fellow food lovers, and walk away with the skills and confidence to craft a bowl of ramen worth dreaming about.
