Traditional Kyoto Udon Making from Scratch

Experience local Japanese cuisine! This experience takes place in Wazuka, Kyoto Prefecture, which is a peaceful countryside known for its high tea production that sits southeast of Kyoto city. Detached from big crowds and nestled among tea fields, this experience also makes for a perfect country getaway. You will get to learn how to make Kyoto udon, a homey noodle dish that emphasizes the rich and complex broth that derives from bonito flakes and seaweed and is topped off with fried tofu as well as Kujo green onion. Matcha and mochi often get the limelight in Kyoto– but this bowl of udon shows the comfort food side of this culturally rich region. You will be provided with the Kyoto udon essentials and get to see their efforts paid off with a filling bowl of brothy noodles. Because no visit to Wazuka is complete without a taste of its local brews, this experience includes a refreshing cup of matcha tea prepared by your host along with two pieces of chadango, traditional sweet tea-flavored skewered dumplings.
