Togakushi Tonkururin : 戸隠そば博物館 とんくるりん

Make Soba Noodles by Hand at Buckwheat Mecca Togakushi.

Northern Nagano


Description

Nagano is famous for soba noodles. You'll find soba restaurants wherever you go. But the most delicious soba noodles are: the ones you make your self! Learn how to prepare the buckwheat flour, kneed it, roll it flat, fold it, and use the special soba knife to cut the thin noodles. Afterwards, see how to cook the noodles and then delight in eating your creation!


Recommendation

Togakushi in one of Nagano's main growing areas for soba (buckwheat). So it makes sense that some of the highest quality soba noodles can be had here, especially when made with crystal clear Togakushi spring water and eaten in Togakushi's fresh mountain air.
Tonkururin is the Togakushi Soba Museum and Soba-Uchi (soba noodle making) Center. Learn soba-uchi from a master.
