5.00An informative 1/2 hour tutorial and practical session to learn how to sharpen kitchen knives. Good interactive instruction and sharp knives at the finish. I now have a much better understanding of how to sharpen my knives effectively. A good selection of knives in the shop as well. A bonus: this shop is on the way to Nezu museum so you can combine the two.
A course perfect for the uninitiated novice

5.00I stumbled upon an excellent skills course perfect for the uninitiated seeking forbidden knowledge. Even with zero prior experience, the path was clear—the tutors were true masters, sharing their wisdom through flawless English translations. But here is where the mystery deepens: by some twist of fate, our party of two were the only souls present. We received exclusive, personal attention from the experts, as if the stars had aligned just for us! This was no mere lecture; it was a hands-on initiation. We rolled up our sleeves and delved deep into the practice. I emerged from the experience not just satisfied, but empowered with the skills to replicate our successes within the walls of my own home. If you seek to master a new craft away from the prying eyes of the world, this is the place. But be warned... once you learn these secrets, there’s no going back!
Great experience
