Just recently visited Japan and bought a Santoku knife from this marvelous shop. This is an amazing store where you can linger for a long time. The better knives are handcrafted and razor sharp. Love it.
@@cometojapankuru Absolutely a great visit. I want to come back and learn more about the different cutlery used for preparing fish, meats and veggies. I just find this so interesting.
@@Mr.CandyCb As with most kitchen goods, Japanese knives come in different grades and price points. The knife I purchased in 2019 was a hand crafted Damascus steel Santoku. These blades are hand forged with about 32 layers of metal. They sell for more but the edge is razor sharp and the metal is stronger. Depending on the blade size and purpose a visitor in the Kappabashi area of Tokyo can pay from $120 to over $250 in US dollars for a finer knife.
1:07 - if the most expensive knife is "some odd hundred yen", this is by far the cheapest knife shop on earth, since 1000 yen equal roughly 8 USD/7 EUR. Bet he said "a few hundred thousand yen" instead.
Pretty sure it's offered for free as long as you buy a proper knife, but we'll have to recheck to be entirely sure. If you're going there today, let us know if we're wrong! 😁 Have a great time!
pretty sure some of the knives actually come down to about $35 US. Though I would spend the money on a nice gyuto knife, my favorite "all round" knife style. Thanks for the video.
Disclaimer: This is my opinion and your experience may differ. If you visiting japan, don't really worry about shopping around, their retail culture is very honest for the most part. As for looking for a knife, look at shape then material (carbon vs stainless). With cutlery in Japan, typically you will be getting metals in the 58-62 hrc scale, for that hardness I typically like slightly thinner knives, ie gyuto, petite, utility, and some other specialty knives. for chef, santoku and other knifes of that sort, I like to find some that are on the heavier side and around the 56-60 hrc.
@@APRigs is there a place in Japan where I can buy carbon steel Santoku directly from the craftsman instead of retail store? I’m going to Tokyo this year, thanks

It's a great place to visit, right?

If you don’t mind me asking how much did a Santoku knife cost? And do they sell carbon steel santoku as well?

Hello ! I'm going there tomorrow :) What was the price for engraving the knife ?
Pretty sure it's offered for free as long as you buy a proper knife, but we'll have to recheck to be entirely sure. If you're going there today, let us know if we're wrong! 😁 Have a great time!
(Follow-up: the shop got back to us, and they do indeed still offer the engraving service for free! You just have to ask the staff.)

I bought a knife in this shop 2 years ago.
Did you get your name engraved at the end? if so was it the same store or somewhere else?
Ya we did! They (Tsubaya) do it for you there for free! :)

Can I get "Budget Knives " there?
It depends on what you are looking for but they do have a pretty good range of prices. There are a few knives you can find for under $50 I'd say.

要存錢啊啊啊啊啊
To buy a real knife directly to the craftsmen, go to Sakai, cheaper, better.
@daAnder71 what are you talking about ?
