Itinerary
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.
