Narita: Workshop to Sharpen & Keep a Japanese Kitchen Knife｜Japan

Miyabi is a Showa-retro experience shop run by a Japanese knife manufacturer, just a 5-minute walk from JR/Keisei Narita Station and close to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple.

Japanese Kitchen Knife Sharpening (approx. 60 min)
Start by choosing your knife from a wide range of Japanese kitchen knives in different steels and styles, including knives with original handles made at our own factory. Then learn how to sharpen it on a whetstone, step by step, with easy-to-follow guidance from our staff. No experience is needed.

Test your edge by slicing fresh cucumber and feel the difference between a dull blade and a freshly sharpened one. Your knife goes home with you the same day in a free knife case.

Why a knife maker?
We make blades in Japan, so the knives you sharpen here come from the people who make them. It's a chance to get hands-on with real Japanese kitchen knives, not souvenir copies.

After your session, visit our on-site shop for whetstones and DIY craft kits so you can keep sharpening and crafting at home. You'll also find matcha (sold separately), Japanese dagashi snacks, regional canned goods and umeshu.
