Overview

At “SOBAGIRI-RAKUJYO” in Kappabashi, visitors can experience fine buckwheat noodle cutting, which has been practiced in Japan since the Edo period, in just 30 minutes. Among Japanese foods, soba is not as major as sushi. This is the reason why it is a favorite experience for connoisseurs. The satisfaction level is different as it is an authentic cooking activity class where water is added to the flour, kneaded and stretched, and a knife is used! Soba flour is made from the most delicious buckwheat flour in Japan, produced in Shinshu, where buckwheat is grown. While it takes 90 minutes to make soba at other restaurants, the newly developed smart technology allows soba to be made in 30 minutes, allowing adults and families alike to participate with ease. A variety of flavors are available so that each country and each generation can enjoy the delicious taste. (Vegan compatible) Activities using kitchen knives in Kappabashi, the town of kitchen knives. Please try it!

What's included

  • All Fees and Taxes
  • Taste the soba you cut yourself!
  • Aprons and gloves available in various sizes
  • An additional fee of 500 yen will be charged if you choose a vegan or no-pork flavor option.

Itinerary

This is a workshop based on a completely new concept. Our shop is not exclusively for foreigners; it is also popular with Japanese customers, so you may often experience the workshop together with local participants. Using the highest-quality buckwheat flour from Nagano and delicious Tokyo tap water, you will experience a patent-level technique to make aromatic soba noodles—completely by hand without using any electricity—in just 30 minutes. Each person uses one table and makes one portion of noodles. Up to six people can participate in a single session. There is one instructor. Since many Japanese guests also participate, the lecture is basically conducted in Japanese, but translation speakers (English, French, German, Korean, etc.) are used as support, making it very easy to follow. The technique of cutting soba noodles is a traditional skill that has continued since the Edo period. This kind of emotional, authentic experience is especially popular with young Japanese people, and on weekends the workshop is often full of local customers. If you come to Japan, this is something you shouldn’t miss. So why not make a reservation? I promise you won’t regret it!
