It was my first soba making experience!︎ I was worried because I was clumsy, but they taught me very clearly and carefully, and I was able to do it better than I thought ❣️ I think I'll take this opportunity to get into soba making. I want to go again‼︎
ご来店ありがとうございました！ 蕎麦打ちはなかなか日本人でもチャレンジする場所は少ないですよね！その初めての体験に弊社をお選びいただき、本当にありがとうございました！ ぜひ蕎麦打ちにハマって、何度でも作ってみてください！ またのご来店お待ちしております！
It was soooo excited experience to making Soba noodles. The master, Fujiwara is very kind and assisting us with a step by a step. So all of us can make excellent soba noodles. The master prepared buckwheat, which made in Hokkaido and the sauce by his own recipe. He explained us about “real manner of tea ceremony” and making fresh soba noodles as supper before drinking matcha can be a part of omotenashi by the host for “real tea ceremony”. It was a great time to learn about Japanese culture through making soba noodles. If you are looking for something special in Kyoto, this is the one for you!
Thank you so much for this incredibly detailed and heartwarming review! I am absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed not only making soba but also the cultural stories behind it. Sharing the deep connection between authentic soba, the traditional tea ceremony, and the true spirit of 'omotenashi' is exactly what I hope to convey to my guests. I am also very happy that you enjoyed the Hokkaido buckwheat and my homemade sauce. Thank you for recommending us as something special in Kyoto. It was an honor to be your host!
Are you looking for a unique experience in Kyoto, away from the crowds? Then I highly recommend this one! It’s also very easy to access—just about 15 minutes by train from Kyoto Station. It was my first time making soba, but the instructor was incredibly kind and taught everything very carefully, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The freshly made soba had a wonderful aroma and tasted absolutely delicious. I also found the stories and insights about Kyoto very interesting, so I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to truly feel and connect with Japan through a hands-on activity.

It was sooo exciting to making soba noodle!! The master Fujiwara taught us a step by step, so we never got wrong. We could make an excellent soba. The master prepared us a tasty sauce on his recipe. The place is located in hidden place near the famous Zen temple, Myoshinji. The place is very beautiful and special with zen atmosphere. Startlingly recommend, you should try!

You followed the steps perfectly, which is why you were able to make such excellent soba! I'm also very happy that you loved my special homemade sauce.

I enjoyed my first tea ceremony experience! It was also a good experience to compare the soba noodles I made with an acquaintance. Thank you very much.
ご来店ありがとうございました！ ぜひまた今度お蕎麦食べにお越しください！
Is it because they use good buckwheat flour? It was the first soba I had ever made in my life, but it was so delicious and I was impressed. The way of teaching was also polite and it was a very good time.
とても素敵なコメントをありがとうございます！ 蕎麦粉にも出汁にもこだわっておりますので、このように感動していただけたことは本当に嬉しい限りです。 ぜひまた遊びにお越しくださいませ。
My first soba making experience was so much fun! It is also good to be able to eat your own soba 👍 The soup stock was delicious and it was a great experience.

遠いところお越しいただきありがとうございました！ 京都でもニセコでも蕎麦打ちしていただいたのはありがたいです！
It was my first time making soba, The kind of buckwheat flour was explained in an easy-to-understand manner, and although there was some variation in thickness, we enjoyed it deliciously I wanted to try it at home, too. It's a fun soba-making experience, thank you
ご来店ありがとうございました。 麺の太さのバラつきは包丁の練習で整っていきますよ！ ぜひお家でもやってみてください！
It was my first time making soba noodles, but I was able to understand each one very well. I was surprised when I ate the finished soba. I'd like to do it again if the time is right.
ご来店ありがとうございました！ ぜひ今度はご家族でお越しください！
