Overview
An immersive experience into Japanese cuisine!
Buckwheat has long been grown in Matsumoto, lending to its well-established tradition of Soba noodle making. This part of the country is famed as the destination for getting the best serving of Soba and so happens to be the locally Matsumoto City as well. But that's not all with the discovery of fresh authentic Wasabi of the region that awaits you!
- Learn a traditional Japanese culinary art from a master
As our Soba master says, “Nothing tastes better than soba noodles made with your very own hands.” While Soba is a simple dish by itself, making the noodles from scratch is a challenge that combines culinary art with precision knife handling and a dash of Japanese discipline.
- Discover all the secrets of real Wasabi
The real taste of Wasabi is not what you find in plastic tubes. Yes, the flavor of real Wasabi is just as spicy, but much fresher and more nuanced than the store-bought kind!

The activity is divided into two stages:
1- Soba Noodle Making
For a moment, you will step into the shoes of an apprentice Soba chef under the watchful eye of an experienced Soba master as he guides you through all the basic steps and the proper use of authentic Soba-making tools. It is 100% hands-on from start to finish, including getting to eat our own Soba noodle creation at the end!
2- Wasabi Experience
Grate over Soba and try for yourself some real, fresh wasabi straight from the surrounding wasabi farms. If you've never had natural fresh-ground wasabi before, you’re in for a surprisingly refreshing treat!
