Experience kitchen knife sharpening and iron forging
Miki City in Hyogo Prefecture is well known as a place that produces some of Japan’s finest kanamono metalwork. Professionals both in Japan and around the world have long sought out its carpentry tools, used on construction sites, and knives, used by chefs.
This experience was exciting, informative, & fun! I loved watching the craftsman sharpening knives & the experience of trying to make my own. It was much trickier than it looked! I'm looking forward to cooking with the knife that I helped make & I'm sure it will bring back fun memories of the trip when I do.
