Knife Sharpening
Participants will engage in a hands-on sharpening session with instructor support. They'll also learn whetstone maintenance. By the end, they'll see their dull knives become sharp.
I received careful guidance and was able to confirm the parts I had been mistaken about until now. I appreciate the thorough teaching until the end.丁寧に指導をいただき今まで間違っていた部分も確認できました。 最後まで丁寧に教えていただき感謝します。

I participated with a friend.
The angles of the knife and whetstone, the angle of the knife, how to sharpen the other side, how to check for burrs, explanations of the whetstone and finishing stone, how to finish, and so on. Hmm... it's deep! And fun.
In "The Great Passage," Aoi Miyazaki plays a chef, and there's a cool scene where she sharpens a knife at night, which inspired me to join. My friend said, "You know, there was an old tale about a kind old woman who made a noise at night while sharpe… I participated with a friend.

My friend said, "You know, there was an old tale about a kind old woman who made a noise at night while sharpening her knife, and when a traveler peeked in, she turned into a mountain witch..." (-_-;) I thought, "I'm not a mountain witch; I'm Aoi Miyazaki!" while sharpening! (laughs)
The atmosphere of the shop feels very much like a craftsman! It's cool. I also want a knife. They provide thorough explanations, so it's educational.
I've come to realize how important tools are at this age. I wish I had experienced more of these things when I was younger. It's not too late, though!!
When I got home, I sharpened my own kitchen knife as well. I made a huge pile of carrot salad!! The edges are sharp, and the quality has improved.
I found the knife I want, so I need to work part-time and save up. The almost-retired woman is working hard! (⁎^ᴗ^⁎)
Thank you, Miura Hamono! I'll come again! (^_-)-☆ 友人と一緒に参加。
