Japanese Knife Society Mission

 Can you use Japanese knives?
 Japanese knives, or Wa-bocho, have been increasing in popularity over the past few years.  Wa-bocho are some of the sharpest knives in the world, however, there are so few professional chefs outside of Japan that understand the knives’ potential and how to properly use them.

 Japanese Knife Society (JKS) is an educationally oriented society.   Working through the skill and experience of chef Mitsunori Ueda, JKS aims to teach people about the different styles of Wa-bocho, how to use them, how to care for them, and what makes them special.

 JKS hopes to positively contribute to the education of aspiring chefs, experienced chefs, and interested home cooks alike, through educational literature, pictures, blogs, videos, and events.  Through JKS gears its educational material towards working chefs, it will be assessable to anyone with an interest in learning about Wa-bocho.
