Quioto: Oficina Personalizada de Fabricação de Facas Japonesas em Arashiyama

Yuki was great. It was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about knife sharpening and different techniques. I also got to take the sharpened knife with me, which was super. I can only recommend it!

非常具有启发性和令人兴奋的磨刀艺术课程，由Yuki担任我们的讲师！我们有机会选择只磨刀，或者购买我们自己的碳钢刀片（菜刀或舟行刀），我们选择了后者，并且非常满意。

I joined a Japanese kitchen knife-making workshop for the first time. Thanks to the artisan's patient and expert support, even a beginner like me was able to craft a solid, beautiful blade. But what impressed me the most was the handle engraving service! Being able to have my name or a special date engraved right onto the handle adds an extra layer of attachment, turning it into a truly one-of-a-kind personal knife that mass-produced products just can't match. The moment I held the finished knife in my hands, I was overwhelmed by how special it felt. It’s the ultimate way to commemorate a trip, treat yourself, or make an unforgettable gift for a loved one. I walked away with the best memories and a treasure I will cherish for a lifetime!

Sehr freundliche Leute und die Erklärungen waren gut. Nicht so viele Klingen und Griffe zur Auswahl wie beschrieben. Ein Standard-Küchenmesser ist im Preis inbegriffen, aber Sie werden das Upgrade wünschen. Eine Prägung in römischen Buchstaben ist möglich, aber wir fanden sie etwas klein. Aufgrund der Lage lässt es sich hervorragend mit einem Besuch des Bambushains oder der Herstellung von Essstäbchen verbinden. Alles in allem ein toller Workshop. Probieren Sie es aus!

Als jemand, der gerne kocht, fühlte ich mich sofort von diesem „Stell dein eigenes Messer her“-Erlebnis angezogen und beschloss, daran teilzunehmen. Unter Anleitung eines professionellen Handwerkers lernten wir dabei auch etwas über die Materialien und Klingenstrukturen, was das Handwerkserlebnis zutiefst befriedigend machte. Die Möglichkeit, Griff und Gewicht an meine eigene Hand anzupassen, ist ein einzigartiger Reiz, den man nur bei handgefertigten Gegenständen bekommt. Ich habe sofort versucht, Gemüse und Fleisch mit meinem fertigen Messer zu schneiden, und war überwältigt von seiner professionellen Schärfe! Das reibungslose Schneiden ohne jeglichen Widerstand hat meine tägliche Kochzeit zu etwas gemacht, worauf ich mich wirklich freuen kann. Ich empfehle dieses Programm jedem, der gerne kocht!

I had a fantastic time learning how to sharpen a Japanese knife. You don't need any prior experience because the staff is very patient and teaches you one-on-one. Building my own custom knife was so much fun, and learning the whetstone technique is a practical skill I can use back home. Taking home my newly sharpened, high-quality knife is the perfect souvenir from Kyoto.

I bought a new knife and wanted to learn how to take care of it. Yuki was very helpful, informative, and thoughtful throughout the process and taught us how to sharpen a knife to a fine edge! We were even able to engrave our knife as a momento to take back home. Highly recommend!

Great experience and highly recommended . Yuki is friendly and guides you through the experience without being overbearing. He encourages you with a positive attitude. I had so much fun sharpening my new knife!

One of the best parts of the experience was getting to choose both the blade and the handle to create my own custom knife. It made the whole experience feel much more personal from the very beginning. But the biggest surprise came after sharpening it. I honestly had no idea a knife could become THIS sharp! When I finally tested it myself, it sliced through everything so smoothly that I couldn’t believe it. It was exactly like those super-sharp Japanese knives you see in videos on social media, except this time I was actually holding one that I had sharpened myself! Seeing the difference before and after was incredibly satisfying and made the whole experience so much fun. I walked away with my own customized, razor-sharp knife and a great memory to take home from Japan. Definitely an experience I would recommend!

It was a very informative experience, even for Japanese people. I was also able to choose and purchase a knife!!
