Sapporo’s food scene excels with hands-on cultural experiences. The standout is もんど’s Friday soba-making class ($115.83), where you’ll work with top-quality Hokkaido flour to craft authentic noodles. We love the private culinary tours that combine soba-making with tempura lessons and local sake tastings – they’re intimate and deeply informative. For special occasions, the private Geisha dinner impresses with its elegance, while the soba-tempura-shabu-shabu experience offers the best of Hokkaido’s seasonal ingredients. Traditional performances like the Shishimai lion dance add cultural depth to any private dinner. Let’s explore our favorite food tours in Sapporo.
