Soba Making Workshop

Join us for a hands-on workshop of making soba—Japanese buckwheat noodles—from making the dough to cooking the noodles. Guided by expert instructor Kayo Bennett, this hands-on workshop guides you through every step of the process of teuchi soba (handmade soba), teaching you the traditional techniques behind this iconic Japanese dish.

At the end of the class, sit down to savour handmade soba paired with traditional dipping sauce for a taste of Japan. 

Participants will take home their own handmade noodles of two small portions, around 180 to 200 grams of noodles.

Allergy alert: Please note, while buckwheat itself is gluten-free, this workshop will use flour as a binding agent, so the noodles will NOT be gluten-free. The dipping sauce uses fish (katsuobushi / bonito flakes). 

This program is presented in partnership with Bite of Burnaby, a month-long celebration showcasing the vibrant culinary scene in Burnaby, BC. For more information about the festival, visit biteofburnaby.ca.
