Set in a compact teaching kitchen at 21 Harold Road in London, Ramen 3 Flavours Class is a three-hour hands-on workshop that teaches how to build umami-rich broths and assemble miso, shoyu and tan-tan ramen. Chef-teacher Yuki Gomi leads small groups (maximum 11) through dashi stock making, slow-cooked cha shu pork, marinated ajitsuke tamago and the finishing touches that turn soup and noodles into a focused, layered meal. The studio sits in a residential block just off Harold Road (SE19 3PU), making it an accessible culinary stop for travelers based in central London or nearby neighborhoods. The class highlights are practical and immediate: participants learn to extract flavor with kombu and katsuobushi for dashi, balance tare for shoyu and miso bases, and craft the spicy sesame profile of tan-tan broth. The tactile work — trimming pork, adjusting seasoning, and building bowls — is interrupted only by short demonstrations that explain technique, ingredient sourcing and storage. Yuki demonstrates knife work, simmering methods, and plating so you leave with recipes and muscle memory as well as a full bowl to eat at the end. Practical notes: the class runs three hours, is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians, and requires advance notice for allergy adaptations. All bookings are non‑refundable but can be rescheduled with 14 days’ notice. Bring curiosity; aprons, knives and noodles are provided. Students take home practical storage and reheating strategies so broths and cha shu stretch into multiple meals; Yuki covers cooling, refrigeration and freezing. The class welcomes English and Japanese speakers and adapts measurements for local London ingredients. Small groups allow hands-on coaching—expect direct feedback on knife technique, simmer times and seasoning adjustments that translate to confidence in your own kitchen. This workshop suits curious home cooks, culinary students, and travelers who want a skill to bring home. Because the session involves knives and hot stoves, Yuki gives a short safety briefing and asks for allergy notes when booking. The policy requires 14 days’ notice to reschedule and all bookings are non‑refundable; plan ahead to secure one of the 11 available spots. Set at 21 Harold Road, London SE19 3PU, the space reads like a neighborhood studio rather than a commercial demo kitchen—intimate, focused and practical. If you want a fast, instructive dive into classic Japanese ramen foundations and a bowl you helped create, this class delivers technique, context and flavor in three compact hours.
