Autumn Family Soba-making Workshop

Event Overview

The 'Autumn Family Soba-making Workshop' is a cultural event held at Sakura Kusabue no Oka in Sakura City, Chiba. Under the direct guidance of instructors from the 'Sakura Soba Society,' you and your family will learn the traditional art of making Soba noodles. Tasting the fresh noodles you made yourself is a truly unforgettable experience.

Highlights & What to Expect

The biggest draw is the hands-on practice: watching a professional's technique up close and then trying it yourself. This is a great opportunity for children (elementary school age and above) to learn traditional Japanese cooking processes. The taste of handmade Soba is far more delicious than store-bought varieties! Enjoy this culinary wisdom in the middle of a beautiful, nature-filled park.
