    Discover the evolution from Samurai swords to Japanese culin

    Discover the evolution from Samurai swords to Japanese culinary blades. Embrace the philosophy of "Orezu, Magaru-zu, Yoku-kireru"—unbreakable, unbendable, and razor-sharp—as you transition from history to hands-on mastery. The Workshop The Master’s Stance: Learn professional posture, grip, and whetstone grits with one-on-one guidance. Sharpening Meditation: Experience a "ZEN" dialogue between stone, steel, and water. Listen for the high-pitched "singing" note as you refine the edge to a precise angle, feeling the steel’s vibrations through your fingertips. The Gravity Cut: Prove your craftsmanship with a final demonstration. Experience the thrill of slicing through paper or a ripe tomato with zero resistance. Leave with a certified skill to maintain a professional edge for a lifetime.

Meeting point

We are located on the 2nd floor. Please come up using the stairs on the side of the building.
