Experience Details

Take a culinary journey that unveils the heart of local Japan and its flavorful treasures with our Udon Making Adventure! Guiding you through this experience is Jarrod, a passionate American with Japanese roots. Alongside him are two local Japanese friends who will immerse you in the art of crafting these beloved traditional dishes from scratch.


Jarrod's connection to Japan runs deep, having completed the Kobe Rural Startup Program in 2023, where he delved into a community of Japanese entrepreneurs and small-business owners across Kobe. He's excited to share his love for this region, its people, and their remarkable contributions with you.


Now let's talk udon! These thick wheat noodles boast a satisfying chewiness. You've probably encountered them in various hot and cold dishes at Japanese restaurants. And here's a tip: when you enjoy udon served in a soup or sauce, don't be shy about slurping! That's the way to go, enhancing the flavors and cooling down the piping hot noodles.


Now, picture yourself stepping into a charming wooden townhouse in Kobe. This is where you'll roll up your sleeves and dive into the hands-on process of crafting udon noodles. Feel the dough come alive as our expert hosts reveal the secrets to achieving that perfect texture. Learn the art of cutting the dough into noodles and boiling them to absolute perfection. You'll make the udon soup broth, too! Enhance the taste with toppings like green onion, grated ginger, and shiso.


But it's not just about noodles; it's about connecting with local life and culture. As you bond with your fellow cooking companions, you'll gain deeper insights into Japanese traditions. Finally, after completing your culinary masterpiece, gather around to savor the fruits of your labor. Together, slurp away on the delicious udon, indulging in its rich flavors and chewy goodness.


Get ready for 2.5 hours of pure culinary delight that connects you with the soul of Japan!
