Description

It will be a private experience. ① Experience at a "real soba restaurant" that is not for tourism This experience is not held in a dedicated experience facility, but in a real hand-made soba restaurant that is actually open. The soba chefs who make and serve soba noodles on a daily basis give direct instruction, so you can learn about Japanese soba culture "in the real world."It is not simplified for sightseeing, but a major feature of soba is that you can experience the same process and way of thinking as Japanese people usually eat soba. ② Experience the "complete soba making process" from start to finish While many cooking experiences experience only a part of the process, in this plan, Mix buckwheat flour → Put dough together → Stretch → Cut You will experience the whole sequence of:It is a composition that allows you to experience the delicacy of soba making and why craftsmanship is required. ③ The luxury of tasting freshly beaten and boiled The experience is unique in that you can taste your own soba noodles at the most delicious time. Freshly made and boiled, soba has a completely different aroma and texture than the soba eaten in restaurants.In order to bring out the original flavor of soba, we offer a variety of Japanese-style dishes such as warm soba sauce and tenkasu. ④ Hokkaido's seasonal tempura and sake close to soba The tempura served with soba noodles is mainly made from seasonal ingredients from Hokkaido. It is simple cooking that utilizes the taste of the ingredients, and emphasizes compatibility with soba. Sake is three types of local sake from Hokkaido carefully selected by the dominant sake master. By comparing two types of cold sake and one type of warmed sake, you can experience the change in aroma and taste depending on the temperature. By pairing it with soba noodles and tempura, you can realize that sake is “sake to enjoy with meals.” ⑤ Premium Experience with Small Groups Because it is a private experience for a small number of people, you can enjoy learning because you are close to the craftsmen. You can enjoy the experience and the meal in a calm space. It's not mass acceptance, so we focus on politeness and quality experiences. ⑧ "Memorable Experiences" of Travel in Japan This experience is more than just cooking classes and meals. It is the very time to experience authentic soba and sake culture that can only be done in Japan. "Not only photos and videos, but also ""memories made and tasted with my own hands"" will be a special memory of my trip to Japan."

Private class and delicious food

The staff were so kind! Ended up being a private class in a small soba shop. Making the soba was much faster than I expected even as a beginner doing most of it under the chef’s instructions. Once the soba was made and cut I was served the first sakes while they cooked a full soba and tempura meal. Come hungry, I was too full to finish but sad to walk away from such delicious food. Also had no problems accommodating my shellfish allergy 😀

Best way to experience Soba noodles in Japan.

What an amazing experience, the guides were so nice and helpful that it made for a memory of a lifetime. The food however was next level of umai-awesome!!! We ended up rushing over the next day for a follow up lunch. I can't recommend this experience highly enough.

Very happy we chose to do this and enjoyed our lesson!

Wife and I had a really nice casual experience making soba. There was a mistaken double booking so we watched a family go before us; no big deal. The instruction was easy and the staff answered our questions with the help of google translate and our remedial Japanese. After, the noodles were cooked by them and served with broth, sides, and tempura. It was a nice hour spent from all of the shopping and such. And now I’d like to try to make more pasta (soba and other) at home!

Great experience making soba noodles

Taku is very knowledgeable and taught us to make soba. The tempura and sake served were phenomenal! Definitely would recommend trying this out.

close to as advertised

Very charming non English speaking young lady, and a less engaging English speaking fellow. Not thetwoladies in their promotional picture. They delivered everything expected. They're at the end of the orange line. Plan on a 40 trip via subway and walk to get there from main Jr station. The soba noodles were cold, but the sake was plentiful. Small shop, seating for 6-8 people.

A unique cooking adventure in Sapporo

This was a fun and different experience for me in Sapporo. It was nice to come in from the cold and take this cooking class. The hosts were very nice, and although they don't speak a lot of English, they do speak some, and for the demonstrations, it wasn't all that necessary. I was happy they still let me do the tour even though I was only one person. The tempura that they make to accompany your noodles is very delicious. It was also my first time to try sake. I made my noodles a little too thick but I still enjoyed the experience and interacting with the lovely hosts. The restaurant isn't far from Shiroi Koibito park, and the location is in the photos included on this site.

Buckwheat noodles making experience

It was my first experience of soba making, but I enjoyed being told carefully! The unique soba I made felt better than usual 😊 I want to go again.
