We have plans to have a knife etching and conditioning service by Tsukiji Masamoto who is widely considered the most popular knife master in Japan. We also have several other exciting plans including a Japanese Premium Sake tasting serving sakes from breweries from all over Japan. There will also be a dish ware and special kitchen equipment showcase. We will be offering great deals as a show day special.

We also will be welcoming top chefs to conduct cooking demonstrations, sake seminars, knife seminars, and have discussions about the future of the Japanese Restaurant industry in the U.S.
