Learn the fundamental techniques behind one of Japan’s most respected crafts and create your own knife from start to finish in one of Tokyo's most historical and traditional districts.
A great experience where we learned a new skill (how to sharpen a blade) and got to select a handle and keep the knife we made! We were also able to engrave the handles with our names! Krish was a terrific instructor. Very patient and informative, and a super nice guy. I would recommend!
It was a great experience! Satoru made the knife-making workshop very enjoyable. He was highly experienced and provided excellent guidance. We also walked away with a very sharp knife.
Alberto was patient with us and provided a good understanding of how to care as well as sharpen our knives. Getting to keep the knives we sharpened and have them engraved is a great memento from our trip.
That was amazing experience for all knife enthusiast 😁 Kumiko and John are friendly and adorable, the give us very good advise 💪🏼
Great experience. Got to have the names engraved on our knives
Had a great time creating our own knives with Kumiko. She was a fantastic teacher and helped us greatly. Would highly recommend her and the class to others during your time in Tokyo.
this is excellent traditional place. Alberto & betty were friendly as well as very good instructors. Its a very good place to visit.
Alberto was a great guide in getting everyone to work on their knives... very fun!
Our teacher, Alberto, was patient and clearly explained all steps and helped us make great knives.
It was really fun. We were there for about 45 mins. Theres an option to upgrade the knife for some money. Omar the instructor was really nice! Overall an awesome experience.
Omar and Krish were our knife sharpening teachers and were so knowledgeable and kind! We had so much fun working on our own knives and learning about the difference in metals! Highly recommend stopping here on your trip!
We booked the knife sharpening and knife gift class the night before. There were plenty of options for time. The location was easy to find and the space the class was taught in was clean and visually appealing. Our instructor, Satoru, was very kind and welcoming. He explained everything well and was patient with us while we practiced our skills. His English was perfect and easy to understand. The class lasted about one hour as described. We enjoyed the different options for blades and handles and had our knives engraved for free! Such a memorable time and wonderful momento of our time together in Japan.
Great experience. Instructor Alberto was extremely helpful
Thank you Alberto and Ann for your patience and teaching for the knife making class!!!!
This was so much fun. It was a wonderful balance of patience and process. Alberto was helpful, kind, and let all of us go at our own pace. I had a blast learning and working with him.
This was my second visit as they also offer a chopstick-making workshop. The staff were great and spoke excellent English both times. My instructor explained the process very well. I’m not a knife expert, but I think they’re good quality for the price. I’d highly recommend visiting.
Great time! love my knife and that they were able to write on it.
Amazing experience satoru was great.
Really enjoyed the experience. Omar was the best.
We did the kintsugi workshop in a lively art studio. Fun vibes from the instructor and a beautiful piece of work you get to keep!

Krish did a great job, did the experience with my son to learn how to sharpen knifes. we had a great time, thank you.
Very nice experience sharpening the knife. Krish instructed us very well.
This was a fun experience. Krish was a great instructor on working the blades.
Very fun experience. Alberto was our guide and he was very helpful. There is a base Santoku knife and handle that comes at no extra cost. For an extra fee you can choose either an Usuba or petty knife. There are different types of wooden handles that also come at an extra cost but the engraving is included.
Excellent expérience with Krish as the master knifes

A wonderful evening spent learning about different Japanese knives and uses also fun to learn how to sharp and sharpen a knife - Mayuki was a wonderful host and teacher
Very fun learning to sharpen a knife and following techniques to create a memorable souvenir/tool to use!
An amazing experience! Krish was a fantastic instructor, sharing his knowledge and passion for traditional Japanese knife sharpening in a clear and engaging way. The course was hands-on, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. I learned so much and gained a real appreciation for Japanese craftsmanship. Highly recommended to anyone interested in Japanese knives!
This experience was very nice ! It is fun to do with family or friends and you get your own “handmade“ knife. You only sharpen it, and choose your handle but I am very happy to have my little knife to take home.
I had a great time honing my own knife and learned a lot about how to take care of it, special thanks to Alberto!
Very fun and very English friendly staff
