It was a great experience. Very informative and fun. We tried the soba the soba we made and it was good!
Mr. Takenori Fujiwara, who guided us through the class, was very attentive and pleasant. Learning about the process of making our own soba noodles, and then getting to enjoy them at the end, made the experience especially enjoyable. It was a lovely and memorable class.
It was a wonderful experience. I have tried to make 100% buckwheat noodles at home and failed but this class was fantastic in its instruction. Take is an excellent instructor and the result of our noodles in the class- I tasted and it was sooo yummy! Much better than store bought noodles. I highly recommend this class.
Personal, very nice soba master at the dojo. Good ability to communicate. Delicious soba.
It was soooo excited experience to making Soba noodles. The master, Fujiwara is very kind and assisting us with a step by a step. So all of us can make excellent soba noodles. The master prepared buckwheat, which made in Hokkaido and the sauce by his own recipe. He explained us about “real manner of tea ceremony” and making fresh soba noodles as supper before drinking matcha can be a part of omotenashi by the host for “real tea ceremony”. It was a great time to learn about Japanese culture through making soba noodles. If you are looking for something special in Kyoto, this is the one for you!
Are you looking for a unique experience in Kyoto, away from the crowds? Then I highly recommend this one! It’s also very easy to access—just about 15 minutes by train from Kyoto Station. It was my first time making soba, but the instructor was incredibly kind and taught everything very carefully, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The freshly made soba had a wonderful aroma and tasted absolutely delicious. I also found the stories and insights about Kyoto very interesting, so I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to truly feel and connect with Japan through a hands-on activity.
It was sooo exciting to making soba noodle!! The master Fujiwara taught us a step by step, so we never got wrong. We could make an excellent soba. The master prepared us a tasty sauce on his recipe. The place is located in hidden place near the famous Zen temple, Myoshinji. The place is very beautiful and special with zen atmosphere. Startlingly recommend, you should try!
Very fun and memorable experience! The soba was very delicious and the teacher is very patient. I think after this I will try making soba at home!
Tremendous experience! My wife and I participated in the SOBA making class. This was a fun, interesting workshop that was a highlight of our Japan visit. The instructor was professional and a great instructor. The kitchen area is new and a great workspace. I recommend this as a worthwhile and memorable activity.
It was my first soba making experience!︎ I was worried because I was clumsy, but they taught me very clearly and carefully, and I was able to do it better than I thought ❣️ I think I'll take this opportunity to get into soba making. I want to go again‼︎
I enjoyed my first tea ceremony experience! It was also a good experience to compare the soba noodles I made with an acquaintance. Thank you very much.
Is it because they use good buckwheat flour? It was the first soba I had ever made in my life, but it was so delicious and I was impressed. The way of teaching was also polite and it was a very good time.
My first soba making experience was so much fun! It is also good to be able to eat your own soba 👍 The soup stock was delicious and it was a great experience.
It was my first time making soba, but I did it well! It was a good experience to feel Japanese culture together!
It was my first time making soba, The kind of buckwheat flour was explained in an easy-to-understand manner, and although there was some variation in thickness, we enjoyed it deliciously I wanted to try it at home, too. It's a fun soba-making experience, thank you
It was my first time making soba noodles, but I was able to understand each one very well. I was surprised when I ate the finished soba. I'd like to do it again if the time is right.
I participated in the soba-noodle making experience with my elementary school son. It was a very fulfilling experience, with a very homey atmosphere, and I had it taught carefully. My son really enjoyed the experience, which he couldn't do very often.
It was delicious anyway! I didn't expect Towari soba to be so smooth. Noodle soup was also delicious. I'd like to try it again!
