One of the best experiences I have done in my life! Hiro is super helpful and pick us up at the station. Sumi the owner showed us how to make our knives and how the whole progress how it was made. Yoshi also taught us how to sharpen our knives using a stone. The knives that we made was super sharp that it cut paper like butter! Hiro, Sumi and Yoshi was super nice and answered all our questions that we asked. They even taught us how to write our name in Kanji. I highly recommend anyone wanting or is thinking of doing this.
Hiro-san was such a kind guide that he met me at the train platform and drove me to the place. Sumi-san was patient with me and was able to show me the right technique to sharpen my knife. I am exceedingly happy with the finished product and have already used it (cuts like a dream). They also have other knives you can buy so I picked up a few.
One can choose from 3 different blades and three different handle colours. Recommend 10/10. Ihope the knife works as well as it looks ;) Thanks again for the unique experience!
Had an amazing time creating my own knife, The staff where super kind and funny, The even brought me to Gifu afterwards and showed me an amazing lunch spot, this shows their dedication to make sure you have a good experience. The making of the knife was a fun proces and i highly recommend it. Besides the knife i also received a nice necklace of made out of the materials used to practice the polishing. 10/10
My wife and I had a very nice experience. I highly recommend having this experience. The price may seem daunting at first, but the experience was worth every penny. We were picked up and driven back, as Seki is not as well connected as the big cities. Sumi, Yoshi, and Hiro patiently explained the steps we were allowed to do ourselves and took care of everything. The process was very structured. The knives will always remind us of our honeymoon in Japan 😃
waited for the late comers, great hospitality and worth the Damascus upgrade different blade. service hits all the spots and other tourist spots in the area.
