Fun class!

Reviewed by: EFK, 2019/09/18

My husband and I had a fun morning learning to make soba noodles. The language barrier is not an issue. Grating your own fresh wasabi as well! However the end product was a bit disappointing, flavour wise and the noodles fell apart during the cooking process. It did feel a bit rushed but it’s one of the cheaper classes available in Kyoto.

Thank you for posting the review. We are sorry for making you disappointing. 80%buckwheat soba noodles are difficult to make, and now you can find out how skillful soba pros are, and that is one of the things we want you know through the experience. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you.

Soba making class

Reviewed by: Danette , 2018/10/14

Instructor was excellent. The location was very difficult to find. Better instructions are needed to find the building.

Great experience

Reviewed by: Carmen, 2018/04/29

Overall a great experience! Would have been so much better if the instructor could explain more in English. I caught a few things in Japanese but when he explained in English, he did not repeat it. Otherwise it’s fun and interactive experience. After making soba they take some to make soba chips! We’ve never had (or heard) of it before so that was a treat!

Fun/Educational Experience Well Worth the Cost

Reviewed by: Minh, 2018/03/22

It was a fun experience! Our teacher/chef did his best to help us out as the only English-speaking party in our class, and aside from some missed explanation in Japanese, the experience is well worth the cost. The fried soba "chips" at the end were delicious! Would sign up again and highly recommend it :)

Class was great, learned how to make the noodles from scratch and then got to eat them. Delicious!
