Soba is buckwheat, cut with a heavy square-bladed knife into fine strands; udon is thick wheat noodle, traditionally kneaded underfoot in Kagawa. A Tokyo class does one or the other. The Kappabashi soba sessions hand you the big knife, and that’s the most satisfying part.
Plunge into the captivating world of soba-making in Tokyo's vibrant Kappabashi district, where you'll wield a traditional big soba knife and craft your own culinary masterpiece.
