Sanuki udon is not just a noodle dish. It is a local food culture from Kagawa, the birthplace of Sanuki udon and the prefecture many Japanese people affectionately call "Udon Prefecture."
In this authentic udon workshop in Tokyo, your Kagawa-local host guides you through the real process behind handmade udon. You will start with simple ingredients, feel how the dough changes under your hands, use the traditional foot-stepping method, and sit down to enjoy a fresh bowl at the end.
Strongest reason to join
You are not just taking a generic Japanese cooking class in Tokyo. You are learning Sanuki udon from someone connected to the region where the dish was born.
