If you've ever wondered what a properly forged Japanese knife feels like, this shop will ruin you for all others. English-speaking staff walk you through carbon steel versus stainless, let you test blades on actual vegetables, and show you maintenance techniques. Some knives are hand-forged by Osaka artisans, and the selection ranges from accessible to extraordinary. These knives are genuinely sharp, so proceed with care and leave with one of the best souvenirs Japan offers.
