Our host Kei and our Sabo Master were so accomodating and they kindly fitted us in to our own sabo class at the last minute. It was such a fun experience and definitely the best thing we did in Matsumoto. The fresh wasabi was a a tasty addition. Kei was a great source of knowledge of his city and enjoyable to listen to.

Thank you for joining us! We're glad the soba class worked out on short notice and that it made for one of the better parts of your time in Matsumoto. Fresh wasabi makes a real difference alongside handmade noodles. Hope to welcome you back to Matsumoto soon!
Fun to make soba and then have it cooked for you. Lots of instructions and help in the preparation. Great to use the big noodle knife. A wonderful authentic experience. Naomi from Matsumoto Experience was a fantastic guide very friendly andwith very good English, she made the experience 10/10
