Getting out of my Instagram hibernation...
Started helping out at the forge a few weeks ago and hoping to share more of my journey with you all once in a while.
Been spending all my time in the forge on the stones so far and I'm loving every second of it. Nobuya-sensei and my senpai Jesse are amazing teachers.

I'm not the greatest chef but I enjoy cooking nonetheless.
Today I went to the grocery next to my hostel in Kōchi and bought what I needed to make this Beef Tataki.
The myouga and Daikon sprouts are perfect to add a little "heat" to the dish 
Bon appetit!

Today was my last day at Workshop Kurogane.
I'm very sad to leave but very happy of what I learned and accomplished there.
My instructor is definitely one of the coolest guy I ever met in Japan over the years.
Will definitely go back!

So today on my third day of training, I was planning to make a 240mm Gyuto and a 180mm Nakiri but ended up making a 330mm Gyuto which is more like a Sujihiki at this point and 220mm Nakiri.

How do you guys make sure you get the right length?

Thanks!

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
