Workshop Exploring the Current State of Noto and the Potential of its Ingredients, Held at a Knife Specialty Store in Doguyasuji

Ichimonji Chuki Co., Ltd. (Location: 14-8 Namba Sennichimae, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture), which operates the kitchen knife brand "Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide" in the Doguyasuji Shopping Street in Osaka, will hold a workshop themed on Noto's ingredients and sake on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at "ICHITOI," a hub for transmitting food culture. In collaboration with Shintaro Tsuruno, the 14th generation brewery owner of "Tsuruno Shuzo," whose brewery suffered devastating damage from the Noto Peninsula earthquake, and Masaharu Shimamura, the owner of the Japanese restaurant "Unkaku" in Higashi-Tenma, Osaka, Masaharu Shimamura will demonstrate filleting Noto fish using a Sakai kitchen knife and preparing it into Senba-jiru (a traditional Osaka soup), accompanied by a sake tasting led by Shintaro Tsuruno. Expressing Osaka Cuisine Using Noto Ingredients Mr. Shimamura will be handling fish from Noto. He will not only use the meat but also prepare Senba-jiru, a dish born from Osaka's merchant culture. The highlight is how the quality of the fat and the direction of the muscle fibers of Noto's Spanish mackerel (sawara) will be utilized through the sharpness of Sakai forged blades. Tsuruno Shuzo Aiming for Reconstruction in Noto Tsuruno Shuzo, whose sake brewery was completely destroyed in the Noto Peninsula earthquake, has realized a collaborative brewing project with Fukuda Shuzo in Nagasaki through the reconstruction support project "#Don't Stop Noto's Sake". Even now, when the demolition of the brewery has not yet been completed, they continue to brew energetically with the help of cooperating breweries. At this workshop, please enjoy Senba-jiru paired with sake.
