About This Experience

A one-hour knife craft workshop in a Tokyo studio, up to ten people: learn the materials and tools, then shape and sharpen an edge. Guests report taking the knife home.

The sections below quote the operator's own listing. Where it says "we" or "us", that is the operator, so send questions such as dietary needs to them through your booking.
