Unlike typical soba-making classes, this experience has been designed to help you understand Japanese food culture through comparison.
The exclusive Edo Soba Set is not simply a meal. Each dish has been carefully selected to represent a different period and tradition of Japanese soba culture. By comparing Edo-style miso dipping sauce with modern soy-based dipping sauce, tasting traditional condiments, grilled miso, handmade soba, and sobagaki, you'll discover how flavors and eating styles have changed over time.
Rather than listening to a long lecture, you'll learn naturally while grinding buckwheat, making soba, and enjoying each dish. Every step has a purpose, creating an experience that combines history, craftsmanship, and authentic Japanese cuisine.
If you're looking for more than a cooking class, this experience offers a deeper understanding of Japan through one of its most iconic foods.
