What To Expect
Welcome to the World of Traditional Japanese Soba in Tokyo Learn authentic Japanese soba making directly from a Japanese soba chef in this hands-on cooking experience. Create your own soba completely from scratch using traditional Japanese tools and techniques. No experience is needed—this workshop is designed for beginners and guided step by step. During the experience, you'll meet your soba chef, prepare your workstation, and learn the three essential steps of soba making: mix, roll, and cut. Then you'll make your own authentic Japanese soba while receiving personal guidance throughout the workshop. While your handmade soba is freshly cooked by your chef, take a short break before enjoying the noodles you created with traditional Japanese dipping sauce. Freshly made soba has a delicate aroma, smooth texture, and rich flavor that cannot be experienced with packaged noodles. This is a unique opportunity to discover one of Japan's most beloved food traditions by making and tasting authentic soba yourself. Perfect for first-time visitors, food lovers, and anyone looking for an authentic cultural experience in Tokyo.

5.00I was able to experience every step of the process, not just cutting. It was very good because I could make my own soba for five people and take it home.
It was fun.

5.00I participated in the soba making experience alone. I thought there might be some others, but it was just me, and I was lucky that the teacher taught me one-on-one and carefully. He received a lot of specific and practical advice from me, saying that he had experience making soba several times and that he wanted to be good at it. I was able to learn about my weaknesses and weaknesses, and I received a lot of sound advice, which I really learned. The soba became a little thicker, but the taste of the soba I made was exceptional. I'm getting more and more fond of soba making and want to get better, and I'm thinking about enrolling in a professional course! It takes about two hours to complete, including time for post-experience meals. They lend me an apron and towels. After beating the soba noodles for five people (500g), the first person tasted the noodles. What is left is packed and taken home. The teachers and staff are all smiling and feel great. Recommended for those interested in soba making! Thank you very much ^_^

Try Matcha Soba Making Experience

5.00This time, I experienced matcha soba making. It was very enjoyable to feel a big difference in the way the noodles were piled up when water was poured in compared to the last time I made nihachi soba, and the difference in softness of the wrapped dough. I was also whetted by the aroma of matcha that I do throughout the experience.
