Yoshi and Sumi were super flexible, honest, patient and engaging with the whole group even after I decided to make the hinting kkife instead!! The final product was beyond my expectations and timeless keepsake for me in remembrance of my 2nd time in Seki. Sushi lunch was great and Hiro was very pleasant and accommodating even dropping me at the doorstep of my favorite Unagi restaurant in Seki after the experience.

Amazing knife experience
Very nice experience, all people take tine for you and explain things slowly. They show you around seki and give you the opportunity to learn more about knifes and swords. The Lunch was amazing in a small shuschi restaurant. I recommend it.
