Make soba noodles from scratch, with tempura. The experience takes place in a bright, traditional Japanese tatami room. At Kannon-tei you start by grinding buckwheat on a stone mill — the aroma fills the room as the stone turns. By the time you cut the noodles you will be hungry! Enjoy the soba you made with everyone. Peak-season prices may apply (Obon, summer, spring break, Golden Week, New Year and similar).
Options
Soba making with tempura (upgrade to the soba set or soba gozen as an option)
The Highlight
From the stone mill
We start by slowly grinding buckwheat on a stone mill. Fresh-ground flour gives a fuller aroma and flavor.
Step-by-step instruction
Kneading, rolling and cutting take practice, but staff show you every step, so first-timers can enjoy it.
Groups welcome
The large, bright tatami room fits families and groups.
The Experience
Kannon-tei offers soba noodle making in Izu Kogen (Yawatano, Ito, Shizuoka).
Truly good soba is "freshly ground, freshly made, freshly boiled". At Kannon-tei you do all three, starting from the stone mill.
Kannon-tei is part of Izu Kogen Taiken no Sato, about 3 hours by car from Tokyo. The room is built in traditional Japanese style. There is free parking, including for large buses. Friends, families and groups are welcome.
