Join a hands-on workshop and discover Suridane, a traditional spicy seasoning from Yamanashi Prefecture. Your experience begins with an introduction to Suridane and its connection to Yoshida Udon, a famous local noodle dish known for its thick and chewy texture. Suridane is an essential condiment that adds heat, aroma, and umami to the noodles. You will learn about the ingredients used to make Suridane, including chili peppers, sesame seeds, and other seasonings. Unlike Shichimi, which is sprinkled directly onto food, Suridane is traditionally prepared with oil, creating a richer flavor and deeper aroma. With guidance from local staff, you will mix the ingredients and create your own original blend. Adjust the spice level and flavor to suit your taste, then package your handmade Suridane to take home as a unique souvenir. Suitable for beginners, families, couples, and solo travelers, this experience offers a fun introduction to Yamanashi’s food culture near Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. Create your own Suridane and discover the flavors that have accompanied Yoshida Udon for generations.
