Fun experience.
Reviewed by: Katie, 2019/07/18My husband and I both enjoyed the class. We did most all of the steps of making the noodles, even grinding the buckwheat. The only thing we didn’t do was cook the noodles.
The meal itself was excellent, we even got to grind our own wasabi root.
I was worried that the description didn’t say “English available” like the other options, but English was spoken for our whole class. And it was just the two of us. Fun morning with lots of pictures.

Loved it!
Reviewed by: Monique_NZ, 2018/03/24We loved making Soba noodles in Gion. We all took part in the step-by-step process of grinding the flour, making the dough, kneading, rolling, and cutting the noodles. The most impressive (and challenging) part was cutting the noodles - there was a lot of skill and patience required. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you for posting the review. Yes, cutting the noodles is the most challenging and fun part! We look forward to seeing you again.

Really fun
Reviewed by: Julie, 2017/05/20The chef was really fun, and his instructions are clear even if he spoke in Japanese. You don't need to know Japanese because his action will still make sense.

Must go!!!!!!
Reviewed by: Margot, 2016/01/05So worth the money, you get to grind the buckwheat, mix into a dough, roll it out, cut it up. Which sounds simple but it's so delightfully intense. The sensei is so nice and patient, we didn't speak much Japanese but he is great at demonstrating and miming what language failed to communicate. The one and only downside is that we didn't get to cook the soba ourselves, but since these guys are professionals, it makes sense for them to do that simple part. Before you eat, you grind fresh wasabi from the root, which tastes different than any other wasabi- and honestly I don't usually like wasabi. Seriously it's a delicious and authentic experience I would repeat in a heartbeat. They take tons of photos with your phone or camera while you do it too so it doesn't get dirty and you have the whole experience documented. It's not marked on the outside, but it's located right where the map says it is so its an easy find.

Thank you for posting the review and pictures. We apologise making you worried about English. Since not all teachers can speak English, we cannot write "English available". Anyway, we glad that you enjoyed the soba noodles making class! Thank you.
