- A program full of learning that goes beyond a mere experience, allowing you to delve into the culture and history of Japanese knives, and the profound reasons why Japanese knives are so highly regarded worldwide.
- You can take home the sharpened knife, making your travel memory a "practical souvenir"! This unique and special experience will appeal not only to cooking enthusiasts but also to those interested in Japanese culture.
What to expect
Would you like to experience "knife sharpening," one of Japan's traditional cultures, in Kyoto?
In this workshop, you can actually experience Japanese knife culture and craftsmanship while using authentic whetstones. Our staff will provide careful support, so even beginners can participate with confidence.
One of the unique charms of this experience is being able to actually feel the surprising sharpness that changes before and after sharpening. You can enjoy the sensation of a knife being reborn with your own hands.
This is a special Kyoto-like experience that allows you to actually touch Japan's manufacturing culture, rather than just "seeing" it.
Let's take a picture together one last time.
