Soba making experience at そば打ち体験 観音亭

Next morning, we enjoyed a nice Japanese breakfast at the ryokan.


Saba was served that morning and while it was simple, it was yummy.


We checked out immediately after breakfast because we wanted to go experience making our own soba.


We went to this place called そば打ち体験 観音亭 (Sobauchi taiken Kannontei).



We chose the 3,500 yen course which included tempura, sashimi and sazae gohan along with our soba.


There was only another family there with us that morning. We got to mill our own soba flour, roll the dough and also to cut the dough at the end.


It was a really nice experience. Makes you feel like you can easily make soba at home too.


After making our soba, we went down to the restaurant to wait for it to be cooked.


The tempura was served first but we wanted to wait for the soba first before eating.


Finally the soba arrived! We were even provided an instruction on how to deliciously enjoy wasabi with soba.


As our set came with sashimi, we also had a small platter of sashimi, which I didn't really enjoy. The tako was tough and chewy.


Soba on the other hand was yummy. Not sure if it was because we made it ourselves, so we felt that it was very good. Lol


But this is a lot of food, as we also had sazae rice too. One good thing was that they allowed us to pack the sazae rice into an onigiri to bring home, so there will be no food wasted.
