Do I need to make a reservation? Can I book on the same day?
Reservations get priority. Walk-ins are welcome, but we may not be able to seat you when we are full or still preparing, so we recommend booking in advance.
Walk-ins are welcome. To check today's availability, please call us at 050-6882-5580 (phone hours 9:30 AM–5:00 PM JST).
What is the minimum number of people?
Solo guests are welcome. All experiences can be booked from 1 person.
Hōtō making can host up to 200 people. For more than 80 people, we also use our sister shop across the street. For more than 100 people, we use a separate venue.
Yoshida Udon, soba and ramen making are limited to 20 people per group.
How long does the experience take?
About 90-120 minutes for plans including meals. Take-home plans without a meal finish within 60 minutes. Time varies with group size and menu.
I'm not good at cooking — will I be OK?
Yes, absolutely. Our staff guide you carefully step by step. Most of our guests are beginners at cooking and enjoy it fully.
Can I do the experience on a rainy day?
Yes. All experiences are held indoors, so weather doesn't matter. We're a popular rainy-day destination in the Lake Kawaguchi area.
Can families with children participate?
Yes. Many families visit us. Our staff assist with steps involving heat or knives. Small children's aprons aren't provided — please bring one if needed.
Are the meals vegan/vegetarian friendly?
Yes. The Hōtō making experience uses no animal products at all. The soba, udon and ramen experiences use some animal products. Some of the seasonings on the table also contain animal products, so please be careful. Please tell us about any foods you cannot eat when you book.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, credit cards (VISA, Mastercard, American Express) and QR-code payments are all accepted. Payment is made on-site.
