Mochi-mugi, which has become well-known as a health food in recent years, is also known as a specialty of Fukusaki Town, and you can enjoy mochi-mugi menus all over the town.

Latest update :

The ``hand-stretching experience'' will start in June at ``Mochimugi no Yakata,'' which can be said to be a representative example.
You can experience a unique noodle-making method devised while inheriting the traditional method of milling flour based on the ancient Ishiichi method.

The trial fee for the "Hand-stretching experience course" (advance reservation required) is 1,500 yen per person. The experience is limited to 2 to 6 people per day and lasts about 1 hour.
You can experience the ``kadohoshi'' process, in which the noodles are stretched out on a pole, and the ``hashiwake'' process, in which the noodles are separated with chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together.

The ``One Day Experience Course'' allows you to experience all the tasks, including gate-hanging and separating chopsticks, and is limited to one group (up to 2 people) per day.
The trial fee is a flat rate of 65,000 yen for up to 2 people, but the bonus is 10 boxes of noodles *normally worth 5,400 yen x 10 (with special branding iron, dried, boxed and delivered at a later date), lunch, and photos of work scenes included. The cost performance seems high.

You could also use it to give the noodles you made yourself as a gift.

"Mochimugi no Yakata" handles drying, cutting, and bagging after drying and separating chopsticks. It takes about an hour, so we recommend taking a walk around the area in addition to the experience.
