Soba-making is usually done only by craftsmen, and there are few opportunities to enter the kitchen of the shop.
This experience allows you to experience the work of craftsmen and the culture of Japanese soba in the workshop of a real soba shop that is open.
The artisans who serve soba noodles to customers every day, rather than at tourist shows, welcome you in the exact environment.
