The chef and his wife run a cooking school. It was as if we were brought into their home. They taught us how to make a Japanese omelet and Nigiri sushi. We watched the chef present the tuna and we were taught how to slice it. Everything in the instruction and the fish was excellent. So much fun!

"Charming and delicious"
The "artisanal" part consists of making the gyoza treat, which was fun and explained very nicely. It is explained how dashi and chicken broth are prepared, with the master lending a hand alone. Any questions will be answered and specialist knowledge of Japanese cooking will be imparted. There would have been 5 stars if you could also make the noodles yourself. But there wouldn't be enough time for that. You even get the recipes. Gladly again.

"The beautiful journey of Japanese cuisine classes."
The great journey of Japanese cuisine classes.
It was a great experience to learn and spend time with the master. It's not just about Japanese cuisine. The master taught us the way of life from past to present. From the geographic to demographic and the history of cuisine. This is a beautiful journey. Master Masa and Master Junko are the best sensei. We had a great time.

Masa and Junko are so lovely that you can’t help but feel relaxed and be in the moment. The ramen is so tasty with such a high-quality broth in 90 minutes instead of hours like from the restaurants. The gyoza wrapping is surprisingly easy but to make it as nice as Masa is not a day 1 job. 😅

"Fun sushi making class."
My family and I did a sushi-making class and thoroughly loved our experience. The entire night was engaging, starting with learning about the history of the food and its significance in Japanese culture, to getting hands-on instruction for folding the fish in the nigiri, and enjoying sake and beer. Masa and Junko were also so sweet and kind, offering one-on-one help to each person and teaching us complicated skills like using the tuna knife. This was definitely a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend it!

"I had an incredible time on this experience!"
The morning started with a guided tour of the bustling fish market, where we got to see and learn about various types of fresh seafood. The atmosphere was lively, and interacting with the local vendors was a highlight.
After exploring the market, we headed to the cooking class location, which was conveniently located near a metro station. The class began with a detailed introduction to sushi-making, including the history and techniques behind Nigiri sushi. The instructor was knowledgeable and patient, guiding us through each step of preparing and assembling our own sushi.
At the end of the class, we enjoyed the sushi we had made ourselves, and it was absolutely delicious! Overall, this experience exceeded my expectations, and I left feeling inspired to try making sushi at home. I highly recommend this tour and class for anyone interested in Japanese cuisine and culture.

Located in a cute shop just outside Asakusa station, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and better hosts. We had a large group of 9 including one in a wheelchair. They were quick to accommodate, and managed to teach all of us how to make traditional Tokyo style ramen and gyoza. The food was amazing, and the hosts were warm and personable. Even if you’re short on time in Tokyo, this is 3 hours well spent. 10/10 recommend.

"Best experience in Japan so far"
I booked us into this class as a Christmas present. It fell roughly halfway through our 20-odd days in Japan, long enough for us to have tried various types of ramen and gyoza already and be primed to learn how to make them. The location was easy to find from the Asakusa station (a ten min walk through the market streets around the Senso-ji temple). The class itself was an excellent mix of watching the tutor prepare parts of the meal or show us what he prepared the night before (fish broth cannot be rushed!), along with getting to do the important bits (mixing, shaping, and cooking gyoza; constructing the ramen bowl) hands-on ourselves. Putting in some practice runs of flipping the gyoza fry pan before we put any gyoza in the pan was very valuable! We left warm, full, and very happy.

The class was well organized and the food was tasty -- I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's a nice way to do more as a tourist than just watch and admire. After returning home, I cooked the recipes from the class. Two observations: first, I was able to cook the recipes at home from what I learned in class, and everything turned out well; second....it took several hours and every dish in my kitchen was dirty by the end. It made me appreciate the organization of the instructors even more.

Even when making each sushi course they helped you as needed to ensure that it looked and tasted good! The course states that it is 2 hours long, but they take as long as needed. Ours lasted over 4 very enjoyable hours!
The course culminated in enjoying our creations.

No overseas holiday is complete without trying your hand at learning how to cook some of the local cuisine. This class teaches you how to make the three parts of the ramen broth, and then how to combine them into a delicious ramen. You also learn and make your own gyoza, from the filling to making and folding the dumplings, and finally how to cook and fry them perfectly. Highly recommended.

Our cook Maasa and his wife were really great and we learnt so much about nigiri sushi! We had a lucky private class with a lot of nigiri sushis and different fishes to taste.
Also great was the sake tasting and the opportunity to cut the fishes by yourself.
We got to know very important things about the ingredients and we even got a shopping list for our next Nigiri Sushi back home. Thank you for all the tips!
A further lucky point was the mountain experience from Maasa. He told us many great recommendations for hiking in the northern alps and fujisan! So thank you for all these experiences!
We really only recommend a cooking class with this great couple!

"A fresh and enriching experience for new and returning visitors to Japan"
Having amazing sushi in japan is one thing, but being able to understand just how much effort goes into carefully molding one simple piece changes your entire perspective on the craft.
I had an absolutely wonderful time at Chagohan. The inside of the cooking lab was warm and inviting, both the owners were extremely pleasant and friendly to the participants and Masa-san (the teacher) is both knowledgeable on all things Japanese cuisine, as well as patient and precise when it comes to teaching. The ingredients were fresh and varied, and the entire experience is both relaxing and fun. I highly recommend you fit this into your itinerary if you're passionate about food, someone who's looking for a change of pace, or somebody who's just looking to dip their toes into Japan.

"I loved this class!"
Massa and Yumi are the nicest hosts ever, and their cooking class is nestled right in the heart of Asakusa. The class is 40% listening and 60% cooking which is the right balance for me personally. I really enjoyed learning about each ingredient/process and then trying my hand at prepping my meal. I feel so confident about what I learned that I've tried recreating the meal a couple times at home now! So yummy.
For those who'd like to know, you'll be preparing shoyu ramen. If you're looking for that thick, pork bone one (tonkotsu), you might want to ask Massa and Yumi if they offer that class.
Solo travelers: come hungry or bring a tupperware! I went alone and got a massive plate of gyoza all to myself.
I'd love to take another class with them the next time I'm in Tokyo. The hosts are really friendly, the atmosphere was cozy, and the food was really yummy.

"Great! We are already getting the supplies to make these recipes at home."
The teachers was very helpful in showing how to make ramen and gyoza. The class was hands on, plus detailed recipes and procedures were provided. We had no idea that ramen was so involved! Everything was delicious, and we really enjoyed our class.

It was well worth the money to see how the different components of nigiri Sushi was made and get hands on experience to perform it infront of the instructors.
They turned out greater than I could imagine and most of all the instructors were super friendly.

"Great class, very friendly and professional."
One of my favourite things about Japan is the food, and ramen in particular. So I signed up for this course to see how to cook it.
Turns out that it’s bloody difficult! However the chef and his wife were very patient and talk you though every stage.
A really good, fun course and highly recommended.

"Relaxed, friendly"
The hosts were very friendly and accommodating even though I was 20 minutes late. I attended alone
It was mainly couples there. I was paired with one half of a couple and one of them was vegetarian who was alone. This made things all little bit awkward but the couple were very friendly.
We made a delicious meal of ramen and gyoza and sake.
A fun experience and a nice way to chat to other tourists.

We enjoyed the class so much! First we thought it was a bit far from where we were staying (Shibuya), so it would cost us too much of our precious time in Tokyo to travel there. But it was definitely worth it! Beautiful studio in a lovely neighbourhood. And the best part? Enjoying your own meal with the group :)

This was a great class. Learned how to properly make sushi from a real sushi chef. He taught us great techniques and skills to practice to make the best tasting sushi.
We all know that sushi isn’t just about the taste. He also showed us how to present a beautiful dish. I love how ceremonial and artistic it is to eat in Japan.

I thoroughly recommend going to Chagohan Tokyo and doing one of their classes. Masa and Junko are a great team. Fun, friendly vibe and they guided us through the process of making Asakusa Classic Ramen and Crispy Gyoza. The food was delicious and all fresh natural ingredients. It was one of the highlights of my visit to Tokyo. Easy to find and get to too. Don’t hesitate book your class today.

"Great local culture experience & homemade ramen recipe!"
Super friendly and cute husband & wife cooking class!
They have a whole dedicated cooking studio so it was definitely more spacious compared to any other Japanese places/home, clean, cute, and convenient.
The cooking class is located around the tourist spot so it was also great to look at traditional Tokyo culture.
Overall, the cooking class was really fun to learn how Japanese people would make their own soup stock or food bases, mingle with local Japanese people & other international tourists, and take photos to keep the memories together. I feel like ramen and Gyoza class is more practical than sushi class so that is why I chose this class and I am really grateful that I did!
If you want to feel the more local culture and do something fresh & unique in Tokyo, I would highly recommend this cooking class. We made great memories. :)
