Hands-on Soba Making & Japanese Wellness Culture

About the Experience

I am Yasu Maeda, a soba master and wellness experience creator from Japan.

I offer hands-on soba making workshops that combine
Japanese food culture, mindfulness, and wellness.

This is not a cooking class where you just watch.
You actually make soba noodles yourself and experience Japanese culture through all five senses.

No Japanese language required.
I provide simple English instruction and visual guidance, so everyone can enjoy the experience comfortably.

About Soba Wellness

“Soba Wellness” offers special moments that help balance both body and mind through Japanese cultural experiences centered on traditional soba making.

With the theme of “Culture × Wellness × Memorable Experience,” Soba Wellness carries out activities both in Japan and internationally.

“Making the world healthier through soba.”
This is the core philosophy behind my work.

For more than 10 years, I have refined my skills as a soba craftsman
and have taught soba making to over 1,000 people
both in Japan and abroad.

I have built opportunities for cultural exchange through food,
including soba demonstrations at the Embassy of Slovenia
and hands-on experience workshops in Vietnam.

Soba is not merely a meal.
It is a part of Japanese culture that supports both physical and mental well-being.

Through these activities, I hope to connect people,
spread smiles beyond borders,
and contribute to a healthier world.
