Edo Glass soy sauce pot making workshop!

<<Jesse's Experience Report!!>>

Going to "The Glass Lab" was simply a fascinating experience! It is run by Takayuki, how is the master glass maker. Simply walking down the street and seeing the products that he has displayed in the window for sale really can attest to the talent he has and what you will be in store for!

The first thing you will do is be taken up to the business side of The Glass Lab, and given a place to drop off all your stuff just in case you have and bags or things you don't want damaged! Takayuki will proceed to give a small speech about his business, and then take you down into his workshop. Here he will give you a long rundown on the history of The Glass Lab, and how it has been a family owned company for almost 70 years. Now that is very cool and impressive but then he proceeds to speak about how the glass is made demonstrating the various steps it takes to make some glass product and all the different machinery it takes. It was really cool to see the stuff in action and apparently the custom set up that runs on belts, spinning around powering the various contraptions. Apparently his set up is unique to all glass makers in the world! Really interesting stuff!

Finally after the big tour everyone is given a soy sauce bottle. Takyuki then shows us how to polish out the neck to make space for the plug / lid. We all got a chance to make one each and then are given them as gifts! This opportunity is one that should be snatched up! getting to learn about a very old business that has been operating since almost world war II is incredible! Defiantly attend this if you have the chance!
