Experience Details
The Handmade Soba Class is an experience-based program designed to deeply understand “soba,” which is a traditional Japanese food culture. Through lectures and workshops, you can happily learn not only cooking techniques but also the history of soba and the spirit (精神性, seishinsei) behind it.
First, while watching the artisan’s example, you will try the series of steps: kneading the buckwheat flour, rolling it out thin, and cutting it into thin strips. We use tools that are easy for beginners to handle, and the instructor will support you carefully, so please join us with peace of mind.
Between practical skills, we have prepared a mini-lecture time to learn about the origin of soba and regional characteristics. Through group work, participants can share discoveries and impressions, deepening their understanding of Japanese food culture.

For those who want to learn skills more seriously, private lessons close to one-on-one are also available. You can observe the artisan’s delicate hand movements and control of strength up close, and practice at your own pace until you are satisfied.
Finally, the freshly made soba is boiled on the spot, and you will eat it with seasonal tempura (天ぷら, tempura) and condiments. The taste of soba you worked hard to make yourself is exceptional, and you will surely be moved by the rich scent filling your mouth and the smooth texture.
