Akemi was a great teacher - very patient and welcoming. Her kitchen is a great space to hold the class - we all sat around a huge island so there was plenty of room for everyone to work. We covered all the steps for making nerikiri including preparing the dough, shaping it, adding red bean paste as a filling, and decorating. Then we tried one of our creations with a drink. I would love to try one of her other classes.
Thank you. An amazing introduction to ramen making. And a delicious result!
Myself and my partner really enjoyed this class! It was well presented, enjoyably interactive and a very enjoyable evening. We can’t wait to cook more ramen from scratch with everything we learnt. Thank you so much Akemi!
