A deep dive into the world of fine Japanese knives, a hands-on experience in Tokyo.
Participants will learn how to make a Japanese knife, sharpen the knife, watch a demonstration of knife cutting, test their knife skills, and participate in a cooking class to make sashimi zuke-don for lunch.

You will begin with a detailed explanation of how a Japanese knife is made and the culture and customs of Japanese knives. Then, you will observe a demonstration of knife work by the instructor and actually use a Japanese knife to cut sashimi.
By actually using a Japanese knife, you will learn how sharp it is and how to use it to cut sashimi.

After honing their knife skills, students will participate in a cooking class where they will learn how to make zuke-don. Zuke-don is a bowl of rice topped with marinated sashimi (usually tuna, but the fish used can vary depending on availability).

While the tuna is marinating, you will learn how to sharpen a Japanese knife using a whetstone. Even if this is your first time, the instructor will help you.

At the end of the class, you will be able to enjoy a delicious tuna bowl and miso soup.
You can also taste our original sake.
