Tokio: Workshop výroby a brúsenia japonských nožov v Asakuse

I was so lucky to get Rio as my teacher! so cool and kind and did extra nice things like good pictures and video for me. I'm so happy and grateful! thank you Rio & Japanese craft studio Zen!

Taku bol skvelý sprievodca brúsením nožov! Bol veľmi dobre informovaný a pomohol nám s našou triedou od začiatku do konca a odpovedal na mnoho otázok, ktoré sme s priateľmi mali. Mali sme obmedzené skúsenosti s nožmi, takže to bolo veľmi vhodné pre začiatočníkov a teraz vieme, ako správne nabrúsiť japonský nôž santoku brúsnym kameňom! Určite by som odporučil tento zážitok niekomu, kto hľadá jedinečný zážitok a krásny + užitočný suvenír.

Taký zábavný a jedinečný zážitok!! Prišli sme bez akýchkoľvek vedomostí o výrobe nožov a odišli sme s vlastným nožom 😭 Inštruktori (ospravedlňujem sa, ak som zle napísal vaše meno, ale Aru?) bol super trpezlivý a všetko nám uľahčil. Určite jeden z vrcholov nášho výletu a niečo, čo by som odporučil každému, kto navštívi Japonsko!

My 16-year-old son Nathan took a knife sharpening class at Zen Craft Studio in Asakusa with Instructor Alberto, and it was fantastic! Alberto was incredibly patient and taught the sharpening techniques in a simple, interactive way. The entire session was conducted in fluent English, making it completely stress-free for tourists. Taking home the Japanese knife he worked on is the ultimate practical souvenir, and the skills he learned will be very useful in our kitchen back home. Highly recommended!

Tento workshop vrelo odporúčam!! S mojím snúbencom sme sa skvele bavili. Satoru bol úžasný. Jeho pokyny boli ľahko pochopiteľné a viedol nás každým krokom. Tempo bolo skvelé. Teraz máme nezabudnuteľný suvenír. Opäť, vrelo odporúčam.

Wonderful workshop sharpening and assembling a knife. We were the only ones in the workshop so it was very personal, and Kumiko was a lovely, friendly instructor and took great care in ensuring our knives were sharpened well! English friendly activity. Some handles and knives are an upgrade and cost more, however the included options for each are great.

100% recommend this experience. The entire process was fun, and also relaxing! It wasn’t hard and anyone can do it. Elijah was our instructor and he is so nice and friendly! He was very patient and helped us every step of the way. He was so nice to talk to and gave us restaurant recommendations. The knives are beautiful and they also engrave them. This was the highlight of our trip!

​An unforgettable hands-on experience in Japan! Taking this Japanese knife sharpening workshop was easily one of the best decisions we made on our trip. Learning the traditional art of sharpening on whetstones directly from an expert gave us practical skills we’ll use for years to come—and leaving with our own knife made it the most meaningful souvenir from Japan. ​A huge thank-you to our instructor, Ann! Her English is fantastic, and she made everything clear, engaging, and so much fun. She was incredibly patient with every step, making sure our technique and angles were spot on. ​If you are looking for an authentic, educational, and fun craft workshop, don't miss this. Highly recommended!

I came solo for a cutural experience without knowing what to expect. Hana and Elijah are awesome instructors. They were super insightful, and extremely patient! I had a fun time, and I’d recommend this experience to anyone who’s looking for a good cultural experience.

Bol to skvelý kurz, kde sme sa naučili brúsiť a starať sa o japonské nože na cestách, zatiaľ čo si vyrábate vlastný. Rio bol skvelý pri pomoci s brúsením a veľmi dobre sa vyznal v japonských nožoch, ich histórii a starostlivosti. Skvelý kurz a skvelá hodnota.
