Summary
Marugame Udon is introducing its “Little Udon Artisan Workshop” in Hong Kong for the first time, bringing over a hands-on class that has been popular in Japan. The first public session is scheduled for September 19, 2026, with children aged five to 12 invited to make authentic Sanuki udon from flour with one accompanying parent.
Key Points
- The workshop is organised by Marugame Udon, a brand known for Sanuki udon from Kagawa Prefecture in Japan, and the Hong Kong programme starts from September 2026.
- In class, children will change into a dedicated artisan uniform and learn each step of udon-making, including kneading dough, pressing it and cutting noodles by hand.
- The course is based on a noodle-making programme from a Japanese udon school and is designed to let Hong Kong participants experience an authentic preparation method locally.
- After finishing, participants can eat the udon they made on site and will receive an official “Marugame Noodle Artisan” completion certificate.
- The first public class will be held on September 19, 2026 at Marugame Udon’s Kai Tak branch, costs HK$350 for one child and one parent, and includes a set udon meal, a small gift and a 10% discount card valid for six months.
Why It Matters
For Hong Kong families, the event adds a new parent-child activity that combines food-making with cultural learning in a restaurant setting rather than a standard play venue. It also gives the brand a way to deepen customer engagement by turning a meal into an interactive experience with take-home perks.
