The sharpness of a sword is determined by sharpening!
Japanese kitchen knives are very popular. What is important is maintenance. Chefs continue to carefully sharpen their own precious kitchen knives with the best whetstones to prepare their dishes.
This is a kitchen knife sharpening experience by Miyakoshi Seito, which has continued to produce the most highly regarded whetstones among chefs at Kyoto's long-established ryotei restaurants.
Please experience how a worn-out kitchen knife is transformed into the best sharpness through the kitchen knife sharpening.
Sharpening techniques and whetstones are useful not only for professional chefs but also for home use.
You will receive a Miyakoshi whetstone as a gift. Please learn how to sharpen and use them at home after returning from Japan.
Miyakoshi Seito has been in business for 86 years, and its whetstones, made using a special technique called the vitrified method, are highly regarded by knife sharpeners and chefs around the world.
