Pudgy, chewy, slurpy udon noodles are the definition of comfort food, and in this hands-on class you'll make them the traditional way — by “walking” the dough. Join instructor Tracy Matsue Loeffelholz to learn how to sift and combine flours, then mix, walk, roll, and hand-cut your own noodles. No special equipment needed, just a little energy (and your good socks).

We’ll taste our noodles two ways: dipped in a rich walnut miso sauce, miso kurumi-ae. Then we’ll learn the secrets of umami behind the mentsuyu broth as we build a classic bowl of udon with shrimp tempura. Enjoy it all with a sparkling umeshu cocktail, then head home with the rest of your noodles, printed recipes, and a deeper understanding of washoku, the traditional Japanese food culture that honors local and seasonal ingredients and makes cooking joyful and nourishing.
