A Special Experience of Traditional Japanese Soba Making
Soba has been enjoyed in Japan since the Jomon period. In this hands-on experience, you will make, cut, and cook soba noodles yourself.
Exploring the different ways to enjoy soba is part of the fun. You can savor it cold and refreshing, warm and comforting, pair it with various condiments, or change up the dipping sauce—the possibilities are endless.
This is a rare opportunity to deeply connect with traditional Japanese cuisine—especially the unique flavor of dashi and soba.

Very fun and memorable experience! The soba was very delicious and the teacher is very patient. I think after this I will try making soba at home!

Tremendous experience! My wife and I participated in the SOBA making class. This was a fun, interesting workshop that was a highlight of our Japan visit. The instructor was professional and a great instructor. The kitchen area is new and a great workspace. I recommend this as a worthwhile and memorable activity.
