The Experience

“Don’t worry if you mess up the dough — everyone does at first!” That’s what our instructor, Saki-san, said as we all fumbled with flour on the big wooden table in Osaka. The kitchen smelled like toasted wheat and something savory I couldn’t place yet. There were just ten of us, aprons tied too tight or too loose, laughing as we tried to knead the ramen noodles into something that looked even remotely right. My hands got sticky fast — it’s harder than it looks on YouTube, honestly.

Saki-san showed us how to stretch and cut the noodles (she made it look so easy), then set out bowls for salt ramen, soy sauce ramen, and miso ramen. Each one had its own personality — salt with sweet pork and seaweed, soy sauce topped with corn and cabbage (I didn’t expect the corn but it totally worked), and miso with spicy chicken that made my nose tingle. She explained why each broth is different in Kansai compared to Tokyo — I only caught half of it because I was busy not dropping my egg into the soup.

We sat down together at a long table, chopsticks ready, steam rising off the bowls. Someone said “itadakimasu” and we all tried to copy it — mine sounded awkward but nobody minded. The miso ramen was my favorite; there’s something about that deep flavor after all that work. For dessert we had slices of fresh fruit, which felt just right after so much soup. I took home a recipe printout but honestly, I’m not sure I’ll ever get my noodles as springy as they were here.
