Description

Learn to make authentic Musashino Udon noodles at the instructor's own home in Musashino, a green and lush suburb located in the West of Tokyo. Wheat farming was historically prevalent around the area, and the Udon noodles have been made locally for about four centuries. The Udon is interestingly foot-kneaded. It would be a great opportunity for you to experience this style of Udon making. We make Udon using special Udon-making utensils: a large wooden kneading board, a long rolling pin, and a large bowl for making the noodles. Each guest will get to make their own Udon. We will start by making Udon dough. After that we will step on the Udon dough with our feet. It will be a very fun and exciting time. After that, you will learn to make traditional Japanese Dashi stock. Then, with the Dashi, we will prepare a delicious pork soup that is very commonly served as a dipper for the noodles. You will master the way of rolling the dough into a dough sheet and cutting it into noodles with a special Udon knife. The reward of your hard work is the delicious Musashino Udon meal. Satisfy your taste buds with the contrast between the freshly made cold noodles and the rich hot pork soup. After having the Udon meal, you will experience a casual Japanese tea ceremony. You can spend a relaxing time savoring Japanese Matcha and Wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets). It will surely be an unforgettable experience for you. The experience lasts 2.5 hours. We also offer a vegetarian Udon lesson as an option.
