Private class and delicious food
The staff were so kind! Ended up being a private class in a small soba shop. Making the soba was much faster than I expected even as a beginner doing most of it under the chef’s instructions. Once the soba was made and cut I was served the first sakes while they cooked a full soba and tempura meal. Come hungry, I was too full to finish but sad to walk away from such delicious food. Also had no problems accommodating my shellfish allergy 😀

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.
