Great intimate setting.... - Great intimate setting. We learned a lot! While we were doing the workshop, we also learned about regional noodle culture. The meal we ate afterwards was also excellently prepared. Thank you for being so amazing!

Fulfilling Soba Experience - It's a very homey hands-on experience! Basically one-on-one which is the best. Taku-san was very knowledgeable about soba and it was fun to hear about soba culture vs udon culture. He's patient and encouraging in his guidance so it's easy to feel at ease under his tutelage! The soba itself was delicious (even more so since we made it ourselves) and a completely different experience compared to non-fresh soba noodles. You get to enjoy both cold soba and hot soba then you end off with Sobayu (the water in which soba was boiled in). We enjoyed the Ezo deer shabu shabu and the soba a lot, and would absolutely recommend this experience with Taku-san! :)

Soba professionals! - We had the best soba experience with Taku and his partner. He found us at the nearby subway stop and walked us to the shop. We were a few minutes late but he was very accommodating. When we got to his shop he told us all about soba and got us straight to work making the dough. He showed us but mostly had us do it which was great because that’s the best way to learn. After we made the dough, rolled the dough, and chopped it into noodles we sat down and ate some deer meat shabu shabu with amazing wasabi pickles and 2 dipping sauces. They also showed us a traditional soba broth that gets sipped after your meal. Oishikattadesu! We had so much fun and we learned a lot. Very excited to try to make soba at home now!

Stay away! - The booking was for an English speaking guide. First the location to meet was in a snow covered park..no one was there and it was @-5c. We tried to call the host/guide from the number provided but they did not speak English and hung up on us twice. We then called Viator and the customer service person also could not communicate with the host/guide even though the Viator rep confirmed it was an English speaking tour. We travelled an hour by bus and train for nothing. Hopefully we’ll at least get a refund. Seemed like a scam.
