Vé di động

The craftsman teaching the sharpening and handle attachment has trained at a knife shop with over 150 years of history. Because he has undergone all-round training in sharpening, handle attachment, and even engraving, he is able to offer both sharpening and handle attachment workshops.

Also, while the knife blade tends to get the most attention, please don’t overlook the variety of handles made from different types of wood! Through the sharpening experience, we hope you will appreciate the sharpness of Japanese knives, and through the handle attachment experience, the beauty and variety of knife handles.

Absolutely keep this in mind when here in Tokyo. I was taught knife sharpening using a 225 and 1000 wet stone by Tatsu; he was very skilled, patient, loved his work and spoke perfect English and walked away with a knife I had sharpened by myself. Thank you!
The perfect Kyoto souvenir (and activity!)

We had a fantastic morning with Tatsu. He was a very patient and kind teacher, explaining each step clearly and helping us throughout the process. Not only did we walk away with a beautiful knife each - but we now know how to keep them well cared for and sharp. If you’re in Kyoto you need to add this to your to do list!
Unique knife-smithing experience in Kyoto!

This was such an amazing experience. Absolutely worth it for the price, and even more! Yu is such an experienced and patient teacher, he made sure our knives were absolutely perfect before masterfully helping us assemble the blade with the handle. They have a great selection of both blades and handles. We are SO HAPPY with the results! Not only will we be using these knives forever, but the sharpening techniques we learned will be so so so useful for years to come. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience to anyone who loves cooking at home or even just appreciates the beauty of knife-making!
I got a little lost going...

I got a little lost going there as the address has not been updated on Viator's website, but once I got to the Hirai Knife Shop, it was a blast! I was able to not only choose the blade I wanted for my knife, but I also got a chance to sharpen a santoky alongside it! It takes a little bit of time to get the angle, speed, and directions correct which is where having the teachers there helps as they will guide you through the process patiently and thoroughly! I highly recommend this shop and activity!
