Experience Details
Soba is a popular dish throughout Japan, with local restaurants and high-class spots alike featuring it on the menu. Made from buckwheat flour, it is said to have many health benefits—it supports heart health and is also rich in protein and fiber. Served hot or cold, and with a variety of different sauces or toppings, soba is a common part of the Japanese diet. And if you’d like to make it a part of yours too, what better way than to learn how to make it from a noodle craftsman at an actual soba restaurant?
In this private cooking class, you'll learn how to make soba noodles from scratch at a local soba shop in Sapporo. You'll first learn about the process from a local craftsman. Then, it'll be time to dive in and try it yourself! You'll start by forming the soba as you knead the dough. Then, roll the dough out and cut the noodles. With guidance from a local expert, you can make a delicious bowl of soba no matter your skill level.
With your soba complete, sit down to enjoy your creation—but that won’t be all you’ll be eating. The restaurant will prepare shabu-shabu with Ezo deer meat, a Hokkaido delicacy that cannot be found in other areas of Japan. After enjoying the light and calming flavors of soba, dive into the rich deer meat hot pot as you explore both traditional Japanese food culture and local Hokkaido flavors.
