Noodles a la Zen

$33.00

This class is based on the shared experience of eating soba noodles in a manner not so different from how they would be served and eaten in a Zen training temple. The meal itself will be conducted in silence but we will have time afterwards to talk about the experience: why are meals conducted in this fashion? Why are the dishes used in the manner in which they are used? Why is soba (buckwheat) served more often than wheat noodles, and how are they made?
