What To Expect

The Hochoshiki Knife Ceremony is a traditional Japanese culinary ritual from the Heian period, practiced in Kyoto. It involves skilled practitioners wearing ceremonial attire and using a specific style of knife to cut fish into festive shapes without direct contact, a tradition from imperial court celebrations. This art form, primarily performed during special festivals called "Sekkai," is not just about eating but appreciating the craftsmanship and cultural significance of the dish. This Hochoshiki experience allows visitors to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship and the deep-rooted culinary traditions of Japan, making it a memorable part of their visit.
