Experience Details
Japanese cuisine is renowned for being healthy and having amazing flavors. This cooking class in Kyoto is led by an instructor trained by Japanese food experts, who will enthusiastically teach you a no-frills approach to cooking you can bring to your own kitchen anytime.
Following an original recipe, you'll make a meal consisting of two main dishes: soba noodles and shrimp tempura. Soba (buckwheat noodles) has been a popular dish in Japan for centuries, praised for its high fiber content and nutritional value. In this lesson, you'll use ready-made soba noodles to craft kake soba, a hot soba noodle soup often enjoyed before the New Year in Japan.
You'll get hands-on experience making each dish while watching your instructor demonstrate the process. After cooking, enjoy your meal and talk with your host.
