Fun and insightful class. - A well taught class by our instructor Timothy. You definitely learn what you need to do to get a razor sharp knife. They also start you off with a really dull knife that can hardly cut thru paper and you end up with one that can slice thru a rolled up tube of paper standing on its own. Also picked up a sharpening stone from a nearby recommended shop.

A must experience for knife or cooking enthusiasts - I participated with my boyfriend and we had such a great time! It was an interesting experience, and the teacher was really knowledgeable. They showed us how to sharpen a knife correctly. By the end of the session, we also got to make a cucumber snake using the knives we had sharpened. I totally failed, but my boyfriend made a perfect one 🐍
I can highly recommend this experience, not just for tourists, but for Japanese people as well!
