This hands-on workshop takes place in Kyoto, a city deeply connected to Japanese food culture and traditional craftsmanship. The experience focuses on the final finishing stages of a Japanese kitchen knife, using a professionally prepared blade. Rather than involving dangerous forging processes, the workshop introduces safe and approachable steps that allow participants to understand how a knife is brought to completion.
During the session, you will work on fitting the handle, refining the finish, and learning how balance and grip influence comfort and everyday use. Each step is explained clearly, and guidance is provided throughout, making the experience accessible even for first-time participants with no prior knowledge of knives or tools.

At the end of the workshop, you will take home a finished Japanese kitchen knife shaped by your own hands!
