Experience Details
In the beautiful, mountainous prefecture of Yamanashi, the delicious regional Yamanashi food is called hoto. This is a type of udon that has thick, flat noodles in a light broth (often miso) stewed with some tasty local vegetables. Learn how to make hoto for yourself on your next visit to Yamanashi Prefecture, and join a Yamanashi Food Cooking Class with Hoto and Tendon! You’ll be making Yamanashi food at an old Japanese guesthouse in Fujiyoshida, complete with traditional decor and beautiful views of Mount Fuji, making for a lovely cooking atmosphere. During this Yamanashi Food Cooking Class, you’ll make 2 delicious dishes, one being the traditional noodle dish of hoto, and the other, a tendon. This is a delicious bowl of rice topped with crispy, crunchy, tasty tempura pieces! Made from seafood or vegetables that are battered and deep-fried, it contrasts well with a dish of local noodle soup, which you’ll be making from scratch! From making the dough, to rolling, to cutting, and boiling the hoto noodles, you’ll be a noodle expert at the end of this exciting class. After cooking, you’ll enjoy your delicious Yamanashi food with a delicious complimentary Yamanashi sake tasting of locally made sake. This Yamanashi Food Cooking Class also offers complimentary samurai costume-wearing, or else a traditional hakama or yukata, so that you can take wonderful photos with your food and with Mount Fuji! You can also experience throwing traditional shuriken (a ninja throwing star), or hold a samurai’s katana (a traditional samurai sword). Book this Yamanashi Food Cooking Class for a wonderful cooking experience at a traditional Japanese house, for a chance to eat your own handmade local food, enjoy a regional sake tasting, and costume-wearing with fun activities!
