This is probably the reason why you will join our Walking Tour in Sakai. Visit a traditional Japanese Knife Factory with over 100 years of family history. Go inside the sharpening station and watch professional working on the blades that comes directly from the Blacksmith. Step inside the main office, where you can see those blades being cleaned, engraved, put together with a high-quality handle to become a real Japanese Cooking Knife. On the second floor, the staff welcomes us to their office to introduce us to their product and to teach us how to sharpen a knife traditionally and properly with a stone. Our guests can practice and learn on-site. To finish, only if you want to (no obligation), you have the chance to order your own knife (or knives), to choose the type of blade, handle, material, color (if possible) and engraving. You can watch the staff making the knife in the office, in front of you, and follow the process step by step until it is finished. Amazing!
