Udon Beginners'Plan ※ Fully-guided tour

At UDON HOUSE you’ll learn how to make (and eat!) udon noodles, meet local farmers to select fresh ingredients, and spend your morning “udon hopping,” which means tasting udon dishes at various local dining places. Udon for breakfast and sake tastings in the town of Kotohira? Absolutely! All you need to do is to take part and enjoy!
