About
Our shop uses everything from buckwheat flour to binders from Hokkaido!
Hokkaido is the number one producer of buckwheat in Japan. Hokkaido is rich in nature and pure water, and these environments are suitable for growing buckwheat. In particular, the cold climate is suitable for growing high-quality buckwheat.
Hokkaido buckwheat is evaluated for its excellent flavor and texture. Buckwheat grown in Hokkaido is grown using mineral-rich water produced by the rich soil and cold climate. This results in buckwheat with a rich flavor and a firm texture.

Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Inspire372241586640 contributionsFabulousI recently worked with Marina to plan a destination wedding for my sister, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! They handled every detail, from securing hotel blocks for our guests to coordinating flights and transportation. Their expertise and patience made what could have been a stressful process incredibly smooth. What impressed me most was their quick problem-solving skills—when a few guests had last-minute changes, Marina rearranged everything effortlessly. Her recommendations for accommodations and activities were also spot-on, making the entire event even more special. I highly recommend Marina for anyone needing a reliable and detail-oriented travel expert. I will definitely be using her services.Written March 20, 2025

We wanted to do something different and able to immerse into the Japanese culture, and this was perfect for us. This shop is a small soba shop that opens its doors after lunch crowd for the soba making experience. We got our hands doughy and able to use the soba knife to make the noodles. Makes me appreciate even more the work that goes into the home made soba noodles. At the end, they will prepare the noodles for us to eat. The noodles were plated beautifully with hot or cold broth options. We kindly asked to take about 1/2 home with us since our little one is a little picky and I couldn’t eat noodles for two :). We were dragging to get here because of jet lag, but the trek was definitely worth it! Taku-san (or sensei :)) was great, and we had fun!!!

Overall, a very enjoyable experience learning to make soba noodles from professionals in a small soba noodle shop. The hosts were very welcoming and pleasant. The hosts English was a bit 'rough', though they made an effort and we were able to understand the information. We learned many 'tricks' to soba noodle making (how to roll the dough into a rectangle, cutting evenly). The result was fantastic; the best soba we have ever eaten in Japan. Unfortunately, some information is not provided (flour a mixture or all buckwheat, cooking time, sauce/broth recipe) which will prevent us from making soba at home in the US. Note the location is a short distance outside the city center, though very clear directions are provided for getting there via public transportation.

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.

What a unique experience! I loved learning about soba and trying my hand at making them from scratch. The guides were super friendly. The best part was eating the soba I made in two different ways (dipping them in a hot sauce vs cold sauce)!
