At Yoshihiro We continually strive to cultivate a symbiotic relationship with local chefs and restaurants in the greater Los Angeles area. Holding a sharpening seminar is one way that we cultivate these lasting relationships. Scenes from our sharpening seminar in Ink - West Hollywood on July 1st, we held a sharpening seminar for the chefs at the distinguished Los Angeles eatery INK in West Hollywood, CA. The seminar was a fantastic opportunity to have an exchange with the chefs and to help develop a better understanding of caring and maintaining their Japanese knives. Topics included the different strengths of Japanese/ German knives, sharpening single edged knives/ double-edged knives, and additional tips on maximizing the performance and longevity of various types of knives. As shown in the pictures, the chefs of INK were all fantastic participants! Our deepest thanks to Chef Michael Voltaggio and Cole Dickinson for the opportunity to share our knowledge and experience of sharpening Japanese knives to their wonderful team.
