Frequently asked questions about the Gion Ramen Workshop, including number of participants and reservations
Ramen is a food that is very familiar to us, but few people know how to make the noodles. At Musoshin Noodle Making Machine Experience Center in Gion, Kyoto, we hold ramen workshops with the hope that more people around the world, not just Japanese people, will learn about the deliciousness of Japanese ramen and the techniques used to make ramen noodles.
At the ramen workshop, you can experience making noodles by mixing “kansui” (a type of water used for making soba or udon noodles), and you can take home the noodles you make. However, because the ramen workshop is not yet well known, we receive various questions from participants. Therefore, for those who are interested in the ramen workshop, we have compiled details of the Gion ramen workshop in a Q&A format.
