Tokyo Handmade Udon, Tempura and Tamagoyaki Cooking Class

In this hands-on udon cooking class, you'll turn flour and water into chewy, freshly made udon noodles. The experience begins with a short walk to a restored traditional Japanese house, where the class takes place in a calm, welcoming setting. After a brief introduction, you'll make udon from scratch and learn how these noodles are enjoyed both hot and cold throughout the year. You'll also prepare dashi, the essential soup stock that brings the dish together. Alongside the noodles, you'll make tamagoyaki, a rolled omelet prepared with miso using the host's family recipe, and tempura, lightly battered and fried until crisp. Once the cooking is complete, you'll sit down to enjoy the meal together. Your host will also write your name in Japanese kanji on a traditional uchiwa fan to take home.
