Experience hand-made udon at a Michelin-listed restaurant. You'll get detailed guidance to recreate Udon at home, along with a recipe after the class. If you wish, you can enjoy making udon while sipping Japanese sake or beer. Our chef will cook your noodles and serve them with special broth which is made from all-natural, additive-free ingredients, using kombu, shiitake mushrooms, and katsuobushi (Bonito stock) in beautiful bowls. You can also order side dishes, like tempura or extra udon (they are not included in the fee). Vegetarians are welcome. Let us know in advance if you have any dietary restrictions. The instructor will take and share photos of your experience.

Fun and filling!
It was delightful to work the dough and stomp on the noodles to make them extra chewy! The cooked version was really tasty, and the staff extremely friendly! The location is also in a great neighborhood, worth exploring for other restaurants and shops.

Great experience
Rihito was an amazing instructor. We had a great experience making udon and chatting.

Not for couples
Class could’ve been good but we were not accommodated to at all. We went as a couple and we were sat with a family with a child, they took excessive amounts of pictures with the family but barely took pictures of me and my partner despite coming for her birthday. Not only that but we asked to be sat separately from them when trying our noodles and were denied despite the restaurant being empty and not open yet. While we were eating our noodles the child then threw his food over us too, so the experience was very sour in the end. This tour could be better if it was tailored for each guests experience and not biased towards other tourists.

Wonderful udon making experience!
This was an amazing experience! Our whole family (2 adults and 3 kids aged 9, 11 and 14) loved learning how to make handmade - or should I say foot made? -udon noodles, which we then got to enjoy either cold or hot with a few additional menu items. This was easily our favorite activity while in Osaka. The lady who taught us is very kind and fluent in English. She even shared pictures of us and a written recipe. Our kids enjoyed themselves so much that I ordered udon making supplies so we could make udon noodles at home. Highly recommend!!

Dance on Your Lunch
Ever thought you might want to dance on some udon. Check it out. Great learning experience that was fun for the family. If you kid likes to muck around with you in the kitchen, they love making their own udon. Age 11 and up likely to enjoy.

Best part of our Japan trip!
Absolutely amazing experience and phenomenal meal! Our teacher Looseo (sp?) was great and provided some helpful recommendations to check out in the neighborhood as well. Highly recommend for couples or friends.

Wonderful and meaningful experience

Noodle making in Japan!
Keiko was so friendly and we had such a great time making noodles by hand! Not only did she help take photos while teaching, we got to eat our own noodles and take the recipe home! A great time for small groups would definitely go back!

Memorable family activity
We had a wonderful time making udon noodles. This class was a great way to learn the history and culture behind the process, all while enjoying a fun activity with our kids, ages 10 and 4. Keiko was warm and inviting, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The experience felt very personalized, as we shared it with just one other family. Keiko’s instructions were clear and she made everything easy to follow- even for the kids. She also took photos throughout, so we could simply enjoy the activity. Every step of the class is so well planned and accommodating, making it special for everyone. Eating our freshly made noodles afterward was definitely a memorable highlight. We highly highly highly recommend this class. A big thank you to Keiko and her husband for such a special and memorable experience!
