    A local soba artisan was very kind to tell us! Guides in English are also available. The region's specialty, walnut soba, was excellent. It is very recommended because it is located in the outlet and has good access.

    I joined in between meetings at Karuizawa Prince Hotel. I was very happy to get to know the people who were at the conference with me and to introduce them to the soba of Japanese food culture.

    A very kind local soba chef will teach you. The taste of the soba I made was exceptional. There are also soba-making costumes and pedestals for elementary school students, so even children can enjoy them.

    We had an incredible time at this soba noodle making class! The teachers were welcoming and knowledgeable. The cooking instructions were available in English and Japanese, which was very helpful. After making the noodles, we got to enjoy them with a lovely meal provided by the restaurant. The meal included walnuts to create the Nagano speciality dipping sauce and tempura. We would definitely recommend this experience, it was a highlight of our trip.

    What to expect

    When you think about Japanese traditional food, probably Sushi, tempura, and soba will come to your mind . Among Soba, Shinshu(old name of Nagano) soba is used for soba produced in Nagano Prefecture. This land has been famous for soba since ancient times. Nagano is a mountainous prefecture which doesn’t have many flat fields. Fortunately, soba is best suited for cultivation in high-and-cold regions. That’s why good quality soba has been cultivated on the slopes of the mountains in Nagano. In this restaurant, we peel off the soba husk by ourselves and grind the soba flour using a millstone and water mill. Karuizawa is famous for Walnut soba. It is one of the ways to eat Shinshu soba by putting ground walnuts in the soba soup. After today’s experience, we will serve the dish with the walnuts in a small mortar, so if you are interested, you can try grinding the walnuts yourself and adding them to the soba soup.
