Japanese Knife Making: Takada no Hamono Workshop Tour, Hand Sharpening Kitchen Knives in Sakai
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Takada Hamono blades are revered around the world. We had the opportunity to peak into Mitsuaki, Takada's workshop in Sakai, who is the sharpener for Takada Hamono.
Grateful for the opportunity. Bought a beautiful t-shirt but no knives this time. Their stock is in limited quantity and these days a custom order can see you waiting over 12 months to receive your kitchen knife. I am just happy I got some sort of souvenir.

Absolute legend
He truly is
Fortunate to visit him last year (and bought a 210 Suiboku), he was very personable and cheerful, welcomed us warmly to his workshop. He seems to have a great sense of humour. Mizuno Tanrenjo were also friendly and helpful.
What an incredible opportunity. Sadly they didn’t have much stock left available when I went or I would have gotten a Suiboku too.
I'll be going on a trip to Japan in October. Would love to visit his workshop. Does he require notice prior to visiting?
I believe he does.
cool to see
thanks for watching 😍
Nobody who visits him ever mentions the location of his shop. I'm very envious that it's just this beautiful, idyllic residential neighbourhood, then you suddenly see a big temple, walk a few more metres and suddenly it's his shop (and maybe house behind). It's not fair lol.
Also, I didn't buy anything, but for the nerds: he asked me what my favourite steel was, and I replied white no.2. He agreed.
Haha fair. Thing is, as you know, everyone is super busy creating knives. So though they are happy to show the workshop to foreigners it takes time away from their craft. Someone who knows where to look will find the address but I don’t want to make it blatantly obvious and send a worldwide invite to people 😂
As you said though, my comment was on par with that too. “HIS shop is HERE!” Talk about a picturesque neighborhood.
I know another famous smith who would agree with your choice of favourite steel 😉
@@KitchenKnifeGuy I didn't mean a Google maps location. I'd rather have to go the extra mile for Takada too. I was simply referring to the serendipity as you walk through Sakai looking for his shop and incongrously they're all in peaceful beautiful settings - but the best one happens to be Takada's little workshop.
@@jiahaotan696 🤣🤣🤣ahhhhh that's what you meant
Thanks Franki. Jay Lilly
No problem brother! GORGEOUS collection you have there of Takadas ☺
