Discover Japanese kitchen knives through your selected workshop in Arashiyama. The Beginner Japanese Knife Sharpening Workshop focuses on traditional sharpening. You will sharpen a Japanese kitchen knife with its handle already attached and take it home. Blade selection, handle fitting, handle changes, and initial stamping are not included. The Custom Japanese Knife-Making Workshop includes choosing from several available blade types, sharpening the blade, fitting the provided handle, and finishing the knife. The handle type cannot be selected. Take your finished custom kitchen knife home as a unique Kyoto souvenir. Initial stamping is available as a paid add-on and is not included in the workshop price. No previous knife-making or sharpening experience is required. Your instructor will guide you step by step. The approximately 1-hour workshop is easy to combine with sightseeing in Arashiyama.
