    As a vegan traveler from the U.S., I’m always looking for experiences that feel mindful and respectful of tradition — and this class was absolutely perfect. The teacher was so kind and knowledgeable, and explained the deep meaning behind Japanese knife making and sharpening. Even though I don’t cook meat, learning how to care for a traditional knife felt like a form of meditation. I appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and the attention to every small detail. It was also such a special feeling to bring home the knife I sharpened myself — a memory I’ll always treasure. Highly recommended for anyone who values craftsmanship, culture, and learning something new.

    Taking the traditional Japanese knife sharpening class was an incredible experience that I will never forget. It was truly moving to immerse myself in the art of sharpening knives the way it has been done for generations in Japan. Huge thanks to our teacher, Tim, who kindly and respectfully introduced us to the fascinating history and types of Japanese knives. He then patiently guided us step by step through the sharpening process, making sure everyone felt confident and engaged. One of the highlights was that my package included a beautiful knife as a gift and the best part was getting to sharpen it myself, following the traditional techniques. It felt meaningful and empowering to hold a tool I had personally brought to life with my own hands. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in Japanese culture, craftsmanship, or simply in search of a memorable and enriching experience.

    I had an amazing time learning about the art of shaping Japanese knives! The team was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming — they took the time to explain each step with patience and passion. It was a truly hands-on and inspiring experience that gave me a whole new appreciation for the craftsmanship behind Japanese blades. I highly recommend it to anyone curious about traditional techniques or simply looking for a unique and memorable experience. I will definitely be back!

    It was my first time in a Japanese knife sharpening workshop. Having seen culinary animators before, I was always impressed by the Japanese attention to food. I discovered that one of the essential elements of this culture is the tool that is used in the kitchen. What struck me the most was the atmosphere of the course and the possibility, at the end, to cut a cucumber artistically, then taste it with a sauce. It was a refreshing and unique experience a bit like the summer cucumber I tasted.
