Description

Our most popular item!It is a completely private plan where you can enjoy a hand-made soba experience and freshly fried tempura made by a Japanese chef. ① Experience the whole process of making buckwheat noodles at a real handmade soba restaurant The venue is not a tourist cooking class, but a hand-made soba restaurant that has been open in Sapporo for more than 10 years.Using buckwheat flour and wheat from Hokkaido, you can experience it with your own hands until you mix, knead, stretch and cut. ② Taste the buckwheat noodles made by yourself on the spot Once you have finished, you will be able to boil and enjoy the noodles immediately.Along with soba sauce and condiments, we will tell you how to eat Japanese soba. ③ With authentic tempura, fried in front of you by a Japanese chef Tempura is not a simple dish for hands-on use, but is cooked by a Japanese chef.Enjoy freshly fried tempura, such as shrimp and seasonal vegetables, with your own fried noodles. ④ Completely private experience for one group only I won't be with any other group.Craftsmen will be on hand to demonstrate and support you, so even first-timers and children can easily participate. (5) Enjoy authentic Japanese food culture in Hokkaido In Hokkaido, one of Japan's leading soba producing regions, you can not only "make and eat" soba, but also experience Japanese soba culture such as soba hot springs and how to eat it. The soba-making experience takes about 30 minutes.After that, you will be served your own beaten soba noodles and freshly fried tempura, which takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes in total.No tools or belongings are required.

Terrific experience.

This was a fantastic, utterly unforgettable experience, particularly if you are a fan of soba and want to geek out about it. The teacher was patient with my questions and generous with his knowledge. The tempura was also great, featuring sweet corn and pumpkin from Hokkaido, very lightly battered, perfectly fried.

Wonderful experience!

Amazing only in Hokkaido experience. We went with our family of 5 and they accommodated us even though I got the date wrong (completely my mistake). Our teens and 5 year old loves the experience. The tempura was also delicious and we made a wonderful lunch out of our own handmade soba!

Amazing Soba Workshop With the Kindest Instructor.

Making soba noodles at Mondo’s Most Popular No.1 in Sapporo was such a highlight of our trip. Fresh soba is on a totally different level — the taste and texture blew me away. Taku, the owner, was incredibly patient and kind, showing us exactly how to mix the dough, roll it out, and hand‑cut the noodles with the traditional soba knife.They served tempura with our finished soba, and it was honestly the best I’ve ever had. The Hokkaido corn was unbelievably sweet — a perfect little surprise that made the whole meal even better.A fun, hands‑on experience and one of our favorite memories from Hokkaido. Highly recommend.

Fun Soba Times

Really enjoyed my experience & learning about Soba. Very well done! The venue was a little hard to find and far from the main area, but it was worth it.

One of our favourite experiences!

The guides were friendly, hospitable, and a delight to talk to. Just enough involvement to be fun, then they cook it deliciously for you. Cozy environment and private lesson. Whole experience took about 90 minutes Would definitely do again!

Great way to learn about making soba

I had a great time with Taku showing us how to make Soba. Super glad we did it! You will learn a bit about the history of soba, its geographical relevance, and then make it from scratch using wheat/buck.
