'Dango noodle soup' is made by kneading wheat or rice flour with water, letting it rest for a while, then stretching and shaping the dough by hand before adding it to the broth. It's a hearty, wholesome dish made with local, seasonal vegetables such as 'taro' potato and burdock, and is seasoned with either miso or soy sauce.
This is the only cooking class available in Beppu hosted within a century-old Japanese house - a truly 'local' experience!

What to expect
*Should you opt for an alternative to 'dango' soup, please request this at the time of booking.
Your teacher will firstly explain what 'dango' noodle soup is, and its importance for local food culture.
From then, you'll be provided with an apron and will start cooking step-by-step under the teacher's guidance (all ingredients provided!).
Once complete, you'll be free to sit down, relax and soak up the flavours of your creation - made extra authentic by the addition of a local seasoning, 'yuzukosho' (yuzu pepper).
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about Beppu's rich, unique food culture and enjoy some great food, as well as a chance to meet and talk with a Beppu local.
