Great experience!

Taku is very knowledgeable and helpful. I had a lot of fun making the soba noodles. When they were done Taku cooked them for me. They are both very friendly. We chatted while I ate the noodles, which were delicious. Highly recommend this experience!

Glacier and glacier cave on the second largest of Iceland's glaciers

A really cool excursion that was expensive (like everything else in Iceland) but actually worth the money Had a topoenguide called Oli Blomqvist who elevated the trip 😀

10/10 highly recommended!

Highly recommend this experience! From learning the history of soba in Japan, to the hands on making of the noodles itself and having the actual soba noodles prepared to eat, it was an awesome experience.

Lovely soba workshop

We went to the soba workshop with our 2 teenagers and we had a great time together! Its a cozy soba lunch place, where Tako explains and let you experience the making of soba noodles. After that he prepares the tasting, it was very delicious. The corn tempura he made for us was extra and was so yummy we asked for more which he kindly prepared for us and did not charge for it. Overall a great experience and fun thing to do with a small group.

Highly Recommend Handmade Soba Mondo

Excellent experience for the whole family! Taku and his wife are the epitome of Japanese hospitality. Located about 20 minutes away from Sapporo Station by Taxi. We used the Go Taxi App. 1 hour includes history of soba, mixing soba flour and water by hand, rolling, and cutting by hand. The noodles are delicious and chewy. The soba sauce and soup are equally delicious. You can add on tempura if you’d like. Highly recommend this experience for the whole family.

Really fun experience! We...

Really fun experience! We had young children and Taku was super patient when guiding them, even with the big soba knife. The best part, tasting the delicious soba with the soba noodle water. Will highly recommend this!

Oishii! Must try for foodies visiting Sapporo

This experience is SO COOL! We booked this on a whim and ended up being one of our favorite experiences in Sapporo. Taku and Mai were such lovely hosts. You get to make the soba, and then learn the proper way to enjoy it, along with some sake afterwards! Definitely a must if you enjoy the food and culture of Hokkaido.

Hands on soba making experience

We booked this soba workshop because we wanted to learn how to do soba on your own. We learned several mixing and rolling steps to make and smoothens the soba dough. It reminded us a bit like rolling out a pasta dough. Then we cut the soba noodles. Taka was a nice teacher. He first gave some insights to soba and then he cooked the soba noodles that we made. We could enjoy our own hand made soba noodles at the end of the workshop. We enjoyed it!

Well worth it soba class

Awesome experience! Taku taught us about the culture of soba in Hokkaido and the region north of Tokyo. About the golden ratio between Hokkaido Buckwheat flour, Hokkaido flour to water mix. How to mix it properly, shape and roll it properly and the technique of consistent cutting. And then eating the sobe was a whole other experience in itself. We're very glad that we decided to book this class and highly recommend it.
