I think a wonderful way to learn about a culture is through its food, and what better way to have a great experience than to have a cooking class. (When we went to Thailand one of the highlights of that trip was a cooking class.)
The class provider was Magical Trip. The meeting place was an easy walk from our hotel.

From the meeting place we were escorted to this small restaurant/ kitchen.

Ingredients were prepped for us.


We were taught how to make Japanese dumplings or Gyoza, and then we were taken downstairs to cook the dumplings, make the fried rice, and the ramen.





It was a great experience. We learned about how to make delicious ramen, gyoza and fried rice. And after we cooked it, we had a wonderful and delicious meal.
