• 9-chōme-17-28 Hassamu 6 Jō - Discover the art of soba making at a traditional soba restaurant.
  This unique soba-making experience was initially crafted for Japanese visitors.
  It offers a completely private session at a handmade soba restaurant.

In Japan, while many enjoy soba, few have tried making it themselves. Soba-making is traditionally seen as an artisanal craft, often conducted in private workshops, with many classes requiring a set schedule and extensive training.
To meet the demand for a more accessible and genuine soba-making experience, this hands-on class is held at a well-established soba restaurant that has been in operation for many years.

During the session, participants will learn traditional soba-making techniques, including dough mixing, noodle stretching, cutting, and tasting freshly prepared soba noodles. This program follows a time-honored structure honed over years of practice.

English explanations are brief and supported by visual demonstrations.
This experience is perfect for those eager to learn about Japanese culinary culture through practical engagement rather than detailed lectures or guided tours.

This is not a cooking school or a sightseeing performance, but a chance to immerse oneself in a genuine soba restaurant environment, experience traditions typically not accessible to the public, and learn the proper way to enjoy soba.
