Thanks to Experience Tokyo, I found out that on Saturday afternoons you can Discover the Secrets of Soba Making from a local Edo master ‘sobalier’ at “Soba Shonin” in Asakusa, Tokyo.
Besides preparing Soba you will also learn how to eat it as the way you eat them changes their taste.
The class is limited to a maximum of 6 people so reservations are needed.
Be warned that ingredients used might stain your clothes.
If you cannot make it to Tokyo, Japan Guide shares all the steps and ingredients that make great Soba Noodles.
Let’s make ‘Sobalier‘ our Job Idea Number 6.
Before wrapping up this Tokyo Thursdays # 15, note that the Japan National Tourist Organization (JNTO) offers Local Websites catering to visitors from many locations around the world.
