In this workshop, Eien Hunter-Ishikawa will teach the basics of Japanese knife sharpening on water stones. Japanese knife culture is distinct in several ways: the blade is sharper and thinner, sharpening is done on whetstones, and chefs sharpen their own knives in order to accommodate their individual cutting needs. After this introduction of basic techniques, you will be able to sharpen your own knives at home and experience the true joy of cooking with a sharp blade.

NOTE: Please bring your kitchen knives to sharpen during the class. Space is limited to 15 spots so early registration is advised.

Workshop fee includes a King KW65 whetstone for each participant to take home.
