Soba Noodle Making Experience
Make your own real soba, from scratch, at the foot of the Japanese Alps.
For families, rainy days, and anyone who loves good food.
Fancy having a go at making real soba from scratch, at the foot of the Japanese Alps?
We’ve just introduced a new children’s price (for 6-12 year olds), so it’s easier than ever to bring the whole family along. It’s all indoors, so rain won’t put a dent in your plans — just great memories, whatever the weather. Make your own soba from start to finish, then tuck in alongside our signature crispy tempura.
Summer’s our busy season, and spots tend to fill up fast — we’d recommend booking ahead. That said, walk-ins are welcome on the day if space allows.
※Please note that the workshop is conducted in Japanese only. However, English interpretation can be arranged for group bookings that meet the following conditions:
- Group size: 10–25 people
- Booking must be made at least 14 days in advance
- Private bookings only
- To inquire or make a reservation, please email info@hakubaescal.com
The whole family, all in
A brilliant way to make memories together — roll up your sleeves, get stuck into the dough, and have a laugh along the way. And with our new pricing for primary-school-age kids, it's easier than ever to bring the whole family.
Rain or shine, it's on
Don't let the weather dictate your holiday. Whatever's going on outside, our workshop runs indoors, every day, whatever the forecast — so the memories are guaranteed even if the sunshine isn't.
Fresh-made, fresh-boiled, and all yours
There's nothing quite like the taste of soba you've made yourself — and we'll serve it up alongside our signature crispy tempura. Come and try the best bowl you've ever made.
