Try out a workshop for an authentic traditional craft in Japan's center for blacksmithing, and use the real thing at home!

Japanese knives from Sakai, Osaka are said to be used by 90% of chefs who cook Japanese cuisine in Japan. The origin of these knives goes back to the era of Emperor Nintoku. In 379 AD, large scale construction work began in Sakai to provide work for soldiers returning from war and to control flooding. For this reason, blacksmiths from all over Japan were summoned here to make the hoes and plows that were used by these men. It is thought that Sakai became a blacksmithing town because the descendants of the blacksmiths remained there. After that, by 1800 it was already known as a location that produces carving knives. To this day, Sakai Knives continue to be handmade by craftsmen. Their amazing sharpness has of course seen tremendous popularity from within Japan, but also from professional chefs overseas.
