You were honestly one of the most skilled participants we've ever had when it came to sharpening! No surprise though—a carpenter’s craftsmanship really showed. Your attention to detail and steady technique were impressive to watch. Thank you for spending time with us, and I’d love to welcome you back for another experience someday! BUB ACTIVITY CENTER

Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil commentaire ! J’ai passé un très bon moment avec vous également. Merci d’avoir participé à cette expérience. J’espère que vous utiliserez souvent votre couteau à la maison et qu’il vous rappellera de merveilleux souvenirs du Japon chaque fois que vous cuisinerez. Au plaisir de vous revoir lors d’un prochain voyage au Japon ! BUB ACTIVITY CENTER
Watching a dull blade come back to life as sharp as a samurai sword using a traditional Japanese whetstone was absolutely magical and truly blew me away!
Thank you! The history and craftsmanship behind Japanese blades, developed through the samurai era, really is fascinating. We're glad you enjoyed seeing the transformation with your own eyes. Have fun sharpening your knives at home, and may they stay razor-sharp for many years! BUB ACTIVITY CENTER
