Make your own original chopsticks by choosing the wood and length and sharpening them with a plane! This is an experience in Azumino, Shinshu, a place rich in nature with sparkling water, light, wind, and sky. For same-day reservations, please contact us by phone.We will try it out at our home workshop. When you enter the room, the smell of wood wafts through the air. Just that alone relaxes your mind! Concentrating on making chopsticks will refresh your mind and body! It is an experience that will satisfy all five senses with Azumino's delicious air, water, and light. Unlike the standard chopstick making experience where you just move a plane around on a shaft, you can make thin chopsticks using a plane stand designed by the craftsman Kawaguchi! You can make thick chopsticks, square chopsticks, and even octagonal chopsticks if you try hard! This is the only place in Japan where you can make your own easy-to-use chopsticks. Children in the third grade of elementary school can try it out! (For elementary school students, we recommend cypress wood; some people may not be able to carve it at all due to the hardness of mountain cherry wood.) Using a planer from a square piece of wood may seem difficult, but...our craftsmen will carefully teach you how to use the planer. . 12 years of chopstick making experience. I have experienced it with over 10,000 people so far, so everyone is creating it. Among the 10,000 people, there are also famous entertainers and announcers (*^-^*) ~ Procedure of the day ~ ① "Decide the wood and length." Decide the material of the chopsticks and the length of the chopsticks. ② “Explanation of the process ~ It all starts with someone teaching me how to use a plane~” Planes vary depending on the person who uses them! How much it takes to cut depends on your individual stance. Therefore, the time for the chopstick making experience will vary depending on each customer's time! ③Process 1. Make the thickness easy to use 2. Scrape the corners 3. Polish with sandpaper 4. Write the name with a baking pen 5. Receive it and paint. Our craftsmen will apply a water-repellent ceramic coating and send it to you approximately one month after it dries. Water-repellent ceramic paint is a naturally derived paint, so it is gentle on the body and prevents bacteria without damaging the texture of the wood. *Domestic genuine lacquer painting is available as an option. (1,100 yen to be paid on-site) When you apply lacquer, it forms a coating that prevents the wood from absorbing water, protecting the chopsticks from mold and bacteria. Lacquer is made from wood sap and has been used since the Jomon period, so it is safe for your body. There are very few shops that paint Japanese lacquer. This is an initiative that allows you to use wood with care for a long time. I will also repaint it. *Nagano Prefecture SDGs Promotion Company: Registration number 1573. We were registered in Nagano Prefecture as having been promoting eco-manufacturing for 25 years.

そば打ち歴25年という先生に、新設丁寧にそば打ちを教えていただきました。 そばは打ち初めてなこともあり、そば粉をこねるのも、麵の形に切るのも最初は上手にできませんでした。 それでも先生に和やかな笑顔で優しく教えていただけ、最後は何とかそれなりに形に上達(というほどでもないでしょうが)できたと思います。 おかげさまで、楽しみながら初めてのそば打ちを体験をすることができました。 そしてそばを打ち終わったあとがまた良かったんです。 自分で打ったそばを茹でてもらえ、食べることができるんです。 それも、おいしく上がった天ぷら付きで。 茹で上がったそばは、自分が切ったとおり、太いのやら細いのやらが混在してて。 そんなふうに見た目は悪いんですが、自分で打ったという愛着もひとしおのそばを、おいしく揚がったてんぷらと一緒に食べることができました。 そば打ちの先生、受付していただいた女性職員の方、会計のところにおられた男性職員の方、厨房でそばを茹でてくれた女性職員の方、皆さんにすごくよくしていただき、本当に感謝です。 施設の皆さんの対応も本当に暖かく、これを機会に自分でも自宅でそば打ちしてみようかなあ、と本気で考えているほどです。 ありがとうございました。
