Iya Soba-Making Experience

Iya soba is a regional dish believed to have originated from soba cultivated in the mountains by Heike clan refugees, characterized by thick, short buckwheat soba made without binder. At homes and soba dojos in Iya, you can experience soba-making using local buckwheat flour. Soba made with mountain water has a pleasant aroma, and the experience of tasting the thick soba you've made yourself alongside local specialties allows you to truly appreciate the depth of Iya's food culture. A popular all-day course combines this with sightseeing at Kazurahashi.
