Udon is very popular and traditional food in Japan.
At IRICOSKY, you will learn how to make udon from scratch with the instructor born at Kagawa-prefecture where is known for “SANUKI UDON” – most famous udon in Japan. Why don’t we make Udon together and eat it?
(The class will take two hours long, and a half hour to eat your udon)
See Photo Gallery (in Japanese) »
This experience is group work.
Each team has one bowl and one rolling pin. Please take turns and have fun.
The ingredients of udon are simple: flour, salt, and water.
Making udon is simple too: mix the ingredients, step on the dough (!), spread, and cut. That is the all of udon making, and you are fun through the lesson.
You will have a good time whether with kids, with friends, or alone.
This is a groupwork for everyone from children to adults to enjoy making handmade udon noodles.
The workshop will be held in a small group setting with a homey atmosphere. You will be able to make friends with other participants from other groups.
You make udon noodle for 2 or 4 servings per one group. Of course, you can eat your udon right then there cooking by yourself in KAMA-AGE style!
The instructor is not so good at English, but we believe you will enjoy the class. It’s a lot of fun!
