Mr. Takenori Fujiwara, who guided us through the class, was very attentive and pleasant. Learning about the process of making our own soba noodles, and then getting to enjoy them at the end, made the experience especially enjoyable. It was a lovely and memorable class.

Thank you so much for joining my class yesterday! I am truly honored by your very kind words. Guiding you through the delicate process step-by-step makes tasting your own freshly made soba at the end so much more special, doesn't it? I am thrilled that it became a lovely and memorable experience for you.
Since you purchased both our authentic buckwheat flour and the beautiful Soba-kiri bōchō (soba cutting knife), you are now perfectly equipped! I hope you continue to enjoy the art of soba making at home. Please come visit us again in Kyoto!

Wonderfully yummy!
It was a wonderful experience. I have tried to make 100% buckwheat noodles at home and failed but this class was fantastic in its instruction. Take is an excellent instructor and the result of our noodles in the class- I tasted and it was sooo yummy! Much better than store bought noodles. I highly recommend this class.

Dear Toni,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! First of all, I want to sincerely thank you for your kind understanding and flexibility regarding the sudden location change from the Kyoto Cultural Museum to our Uzumasa salon. I truly appreciated it.
Making 100% buckwheat soba is actually very challenging, but you did a perfect job in the class. I completely agree—nothing beats the taste of freshly made soba over store-bought ones!
You mentioned that you plan to mill the buckwheat flour yourself with a mill at home. That is a wonderful challenge, though it makes the process even more difficult! However, now that you have your beautiful new Soba-kiri bōchō (soba cutting knife), I know you can do it. If you ever have any questions or get stuck while practicing at home, please feel free to contact me anytime. I am always here to help!
Also, do you remember the Japanese phrase we practiced in the car?
「Toniさんは蕎麦作りを楽しみました！」
「Toni-san wa soba dukuri wo tanosimimasita!」 (Toni-san enjoyed making soba!)
I truly enjoyed our time together as well. Hope to see you again in Kyoto!
Best regards,
Soba Master Take

Soba-making experience
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‼︎
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!

It was the first soba-making experience of my life, but it was very delicious and moving
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.
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.
