The Japan Knife Research Institute is a YouTube channel where we invite Japan’s top knife experts to discuss the world’s most specialized and “maniac” topics regarding Japanese kitchen knives.
We post in-depth videos covering answers to knife-related questions, the theory of sharpening and whetstones, and professional cooking techniques.
On this blog, we also share behind-the-scenes stories from our video shoots and the “real talk” of the knife industry that rarely makes it to the public.
From beginners to professionals, we deliver valuable information to everyone who loves knives.
