While there are many opportunities for guests to enjoy Japanese cuisine, making traditional dishes like soba or udon noodles is a unique experience. During this experience, you can learn the authentic taste of soba noodles and fresh vegetable tempura cuisine. At the same time, tempura ingredients such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and shiitake mushrooms are produced from local vegetable fields. These ingredients, which don't include meat or fish, provide a wonderful taste for guests, especially vegetarians. Why don’t you try making soba noodles and enjoy the flavors of the countryside?
