At the restaurant Hitotoki, located in an area where the Edo-period town layout still remains, you will cut two types of soba: 100% buckwheat soba prepared in advance through the hon-nobashi stage, and yuzu soba made with yuzu from Yuwaku.
While observing the craftsman’s precise movements up close, you will also experience cutting soba with your own hands.

You will then enjoy a lunch kaiseki prepared using the soba you have cut yourself.
The menu is specially arranged for this tour, in harmony with the flow of the experience.
