It’s just 1hr away from Tokyo by train and this experience spot is located on the premises of an outlet mall in front of the station and is very easy to get to.
Under the guidance of a friendly local soba master, we were able to learn the culture and techniques of soba making in a one-stop workshop.
It was great to eat soba noodles I made with delicious Tempura and wallnuts dip sauce.
