【DETAILS】
This is the plan for you to experience the whole process of soba-making, using a mixing bowl per person. (If your party has 3 to 4 people, two people share a bowl .) Please make sure to bring an apron, a kerchief, and a hand towel. (There are a few for lending.) Kamakura Hase Shiori-an is located only one minute away from a national treasure, Kamakura Daibutsu—you can easily experience soba-making right after visiting the Daibutsu.
Soba-making at Kamakura Hase Shiori-an has an original way of making soba noodles called ”twin-dragon style”. The method enables even a beginner to make Juwari soba (100% buckwheat ) which has firm texture and smooth feeling in the throat.
We are very selective in choosing buckwheat flour; we only use those from the famous production districts in Japan, which are Hokkaido, Aomori, and Gunma. Merely in two hours, you will learn about Japanese cuisine, about historic soba, and about how to make and eat the soba. Also, during the plan, you will be able to make a video for your memory that may liven up your SNS. After feeling the history at Kamakura Daibutsu, why don’t you try the exclusive soba-making at Kamakura Hase Shiori-an?
