Well worth it soba class

5.00Awesome experience! Taku taught us about the culture of soba in Hokkaido and the region north of Tokyo. About the golden ratio between Hokkaido Buckwheat flour, Hokkaido flour to water mix. How to mix it properly, shape and roll it properly and the technique of consistent cutting. And then eating the sobe was a whole other experience in itself. We're very glad that we decided to book this class and highly recommend it.
This was a great time!...

5.00This was a great time! The restaurant is just a short walk from the train station, so it is easy to reach. Get ready for a workout! Anybody that has worked in a kitchen for even a little while knows that working dough is tough to do. Taku-san took his time to explain the differences between the soba that they serve and the soba found elsewhere, and he patiently demonstrates the techniques used to create delicious soba. I would definitely recommend this to anybody traveling to Sapporo!
Very disappointed

1.00We really wanted to like this more but it was way overpriced for what was delivered. Should have been less than half the price. Taku was very nice but for an experience that was supposed to be in English his was very limited and couldn’t answer most of my questions because of his limited vocabulary. Unfortunately this was our first experience in japan where we felt ripped off.
We had a great time!! We...

5.00We loved our lesson in Soba at Mondo. We had the small restaraunt to ourselves while we experienced the proper way to make Soba. The tradition and care demonstrated in noodle making was evident and we felt honored to be able to participate in the process.
Super Fun Experience!

5.00What a unique experience! I loved learning about soba and trying my hand at making them from scratch. The guides were super friendly. The best part was eating the soba I made in two different ways (dipping them in a hot sauce vs cold sauce)!
Great experience
