This was much harder than we thought 😮 Part 14 of our adventures at the Osaka World Expo 2025! 🇯🇵

One of the most unique and FREE experiences we did in Japan at the World Expo was this udon making class! I gained a newfound appreciation for what goes into each noodle that makes it into my delicious bowl 🍜 and then my stomach 😋

We made our noodles from scratch, starting with flour in a bowl 🥣 and warm water 💧 that we had to mix in gradually. We ran a little late to class, so the staff helped us catch up, demonstrating the techniques and communicating via Google Translate 🗣

The most fun part was stomping the dough 👣 We had to do this multiple times after folding to knead everything together. The chef 👨‍🍳 then demonstrated a special technique to make the dough into a dome shape, and roll it out with a rolling pin.

Finally, we got to use their special cutting machine! It looks like a giant cleaver 🔪 that slides as you bring it down so you don’t have to move your dough while cutting noodles. Kevin got an A+ and praise from the chef for his perfectly uniform noodles but mine was an “oh no” because I tried to operate the cleaver at 10x speed and it got stuck so I ended up with uneven noodles 🤣

Overall we had a lot of fun, and they gave us a bowl of cold yuzu noodles to enjoy along with a udon making certificate and an bag 😎
