[About Our Shop] Fujiya is a hands-on local cooking experience where you can make and taste Yamanashi's local cuisine. Perfect for a break from sightseeing, with family or friends, come and create some special memories. [What is Oshino Hakkai Soba Made with Mt. Fuji's Underground Water?] The soba noodles found in Yamanashi Prefecture are called "Oshino Hakkai Soba." Oshino Hakkai refers to eight ponds formed by meltwater from Mt. Fuji's snow, and soba noodles made with pure water are called Oshino Hakkai Soba. Making soba noodles can be one of the most challenging noodle-making experiences for beginners. The main reason is that the noodles are extremely thin compared to udon or houtou. Working slowly will dry out the dough, causing the noodles to tear during boiling. However, rushing in an attempt to speed up the process will still leave the noodles prone to tearing. Recommended for: Those seeking a uniquely Yamanashi experience; Families looking for a fun food education experience with their children; Those seeking a safe experience suitable for beginner cooks; Planners of group trips, school trips, team building events, etc.; Those looking to capture tangible memories of their trip.
