Best way to experience Soba noodles in Japan.
What an amazing experience, the guides were so nice and helpful that it made for a memory of a lifetime. The food however was next level of umai-awesome!!! We ended up rushing over the next day for a follow up lunch. I can't recommend this experience highly enough.

Very happy we chose to do this and enjoyed our lesson!
Wife and I had a really nice casual experience making soba. There was a mistaken double booking so we watched a family go before us; no big deal. The instruction was easy and the staff answered our questions with the help of google translate and our remedial Japanese. After, the noodles were cooked by them and served with broth, sides, and tempura. It was a nice hour spent from all of the shopping and such. And now I’d like to try to make more pasta (soba and other) at home!
