      Excellent cultural and culinary experience!!!
      This was an incredible experience for anybody interested in Japanese cuisine and soba. The sake tasting, soba, and tempura were all fantastic, and this was the highlight of our trip to Sapporo.

      Very happy we chose to do this and enjoyed our lesson!
      Wife and I had a really nice casual experience making soba. There was a mistaken double booking so we watched a family go before us; no big deal. The instruction was easy and the staff answered our questions with the help of google translate and our remedial Japanese. After, the noodles were cooked by them and served with broth, sides, and tempura. It was a nice hour spent from all of the shopping and such. And now I’d like to try to make more pasta (soba and other) at home!

      I don't think this cooking experience was for us. Much prefer a group cooking class
      This fellow is an expert in making soba noodles, however we felt that perhaps this experience is better suited to the local person. We were late to the lesson, as I personally struggled with the directions of how to get to the class. This impacted on our experience

      Great learning experience about Soba
      Great experience to learn how soba is made! Didn't know it was so low hydration and barely need any kneading! A must try for soba fans!

      Great soba making experience!
      Great experience! The ambiance was welcoming and very instructive in soba making. You know someone knows what they’re doing when they make you feel like a soba expert on your first try! The shabu shabu experience was delicious also. Highly recommend to anyone interested!

      Great visit
      Was a great experience. We really enjoyed it . One of the best places in Ghana is mole National Park. The nature is very beautiful and so quiet. We also did the canoe safari. Which was also very great . Enjoyed the landscape and also visited the oldest mosque in Africa.

    The host (Taku) let me know in advanced that the time slot was too close to the previous other’s and asked if 5:00pm was fine.

    When we got here we were greeted by Taku and we got started right away. Although the English parts were difficult to understand at times, there was a complete translation of his script and things were comprehended by the traveller hand gestures and nods.

    Afterward we got to cut the soba and then eat the soba we made. There was a menu for add ons afterwards but otherwise everything was included with the meal.

    Was a fun experience overall. As a seasoned traveller I liked it!

    My family and I really enjoyed how to make soba here! We were taught by two chefs who we learned a lot from while having fun at the same time. At the end, they made us some delicious tempura and we got to try the soba that we made. Overall, this was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this.

    The owners of the restaurant are informative and hospitable! It was fun to learn about making soba and enjoy eating our own creation. Service is offered in English and Japanese so it’s easy for foreigners to enjoy too!

    The soba noodle making experience was an educational, eye opening experience. The soba noodles they sell
    In the store is not the same authentic soba noodles you make here. Also, it was delicious with the sauce and shrimp
    Tempura. Amazing and memorable!
