I’m really happy to find the nice knife🥰 She said they've even started online streaming shopping service. You can connect to a videophone and shopping from overseas to KAMA-ASA! Instagram: instagram.com/kimono_mom?igshid=mixv5ztm97w3 KAMA-ASA: instagram.com/p/CGoLC3KlzNf/?igshid=ja0ac0i08cgr
I really like your videos, they always inspire me to make an effort and give me peace. Thank you for sharing your favorite store with us. Greetings from Mexico!
This is definitely the season for shopping addiction. The popular book "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels... totally recommend. I believe it's on Amazon. Shop smart!
Or a psychopath... this is Japan after all... when you don't have guns, Damascus steel is the next best thing... or a landcruiser with a bullbar... but road and traffic laws are getting tighter too...
Since then I'm here religiously every friday night. Sometimes I forget and the notification pops up I realize I have a big smile with the unexpected happiness in the shape of a video.
The left and right sides of the blade are sharpened at different angles. [EDIT] Sorry, the handles may be shaped different. The "D" may face to the left.
I never knew there were such things as knife shops. The person providing assistance is so knowledgeable. Wow. Japan is amazing. I'm still amazed by the moving company from the previous video vlog. Kimono Mom is turning 30???? I thought she was 22. Also, Sutan trying to copy her mom's words is sooooo adorable!!!
1:03 The gyuto on the left is 9724 ¥ / $93, the Santoku on the right 10472 ¥ / $101 2:03 Naikir is ¥11913 / $115. Yanagiba ¥11369 / $110 2:50 The most left knife (she bought) is ¥11880 / $114, and the knife on the far right is ¥6934 / $67. In comparison, a Henckel ZWILLING Professional "S" Chef's knife is $150; a WÜSTHOF Classic Chef's knife is $155. A Shun Classic Chef's knife is $150. Any of these knives from Kama Asa is higher quality than the mass produced, mass advertised knives we see in our typical stores.
Totally agreed. These are much better knives. We have a small Japanese made paring knife, handle is just like the shown on the video. That thing is over 30 years old (it's my mom's) and thing still cuts like crazy and blade is still in great shape.
@Angel Love "paranoid of customers stealing" -- Yes, unfortunately, it is not a bias out of nowhere, because in fact, American stores have far more products stolen than stores in Japan. Quote: External theft/shoplifting (including organized retail crime) make up the most significant percentage of losses, at 35.55% of lost sales If 1/3rd of your lost sales come from theft, you don't think you worry?
That wasn't the shop owner it was a staff member and yes they are polite it's the best thing about Japan and the fact that most can speak a little bit of English (at least at all the places I shopped they could but maybe I was lucky)
@@johnree6106 Yes, but no. Yes, stores in poverty neighorhood have higher thievery activity. No, it is not like Japan has no poor people. Being poor alone is not the reason why people steal. Moreover, really poor people steal foods. People who steal perfume, high heel shoes, leather shoes, computers are not exactly stealing for survival. Regardless the underneath reasons, American stores need to deal with a much higher rate of thievery and that is a fact. So... store owners are not paranoid for no reason. If an American businessman set up a store in Japan, he/she won't be as paranoid, and if a Japanese businessman setup a store in US, he/she would be paranoid. The problem is not the stores. It is the environment.
@@Chemicalkinetics Never said it was the stores, and yes there is a lot going on with it and the US stores do experience more theft mainly it's a belief that they are insured. We see a lot of looting now because they don't care about the fact they are hurting themselves and their neighbors by stealing. Japan has a little bit more less theft but they do have a more sexual related crimes most not reported.
They do, in everything, so don't come visit if you don't want to "waste" your money in buying everything you see haha... I've been there 3 times and will come back for many more !
I would like to add that they (the Japanese) know that everything is worth too take seriously. It doesn´t matter if it is a competition or just cleaning the bathroom, it is all a important task that needs care and commitment.
This is a luxury knife store, they do the same thing at Sur La Table or any expensive store in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and elsewhere in Asia. Only in Antarctica would you not get a special, artsy knife purchase... they don't even sell Damascus steel knives, or knives at all in Antarctica lmao
The woman in the knife shop is truly inspiring. She is so knowledgeable and yet, so down-to-earth. In Japan, you can truly find gems. It would have been great to get this type of service everywhere.
As someone who cooks most of the time a new sharp knife is definitely a time for celebration. And she bought a Damascus steel knife, that a reason to throw a whole party
This was an expensive specialty store, of course they wrap the purchases. You can tell who has been to a Saks or Sur La Table and who hasn't in these comments. Yall acting like everything in Japan is luxury when this is a luxury kitchen goods store lol 😂
I'm so amazed that she came out of that store buying only what she came there for. I would be buying couple of other things I didn't know I needed until I saw it. 😁😁
My dad is a cook and he got me a set of knives when I moved out and now, 7 years later I still have them and they are the best knives I own. My dad resharpend them once and they still cut trough everything like butter 🧈😍 a good high quality knife is a must!
Sharpening them properly is super important. We just got 2 really expensive knives and I treat them like gold. Make sure they are wiped off with each use and sharpened correctly. They even have covers on the blades.
@@deniseang well she used to be Maiko, she had to persue elegance in everything she did and maintain a strict regime at all times until she retired, heck just thinking of the discipline and will to do that is scary. Sometimes I do think the Japanese mindset of persuing/reaching for perfection in all things is a bit much and a little suffocating (but that maybe I grew up in looser/lenient environment) but you cannot deny people who have been through such discipline shine all the more brighter, their very character holds tremendous value.
Japan: has a knife store and someone who knows the history of EVERYTHING. America: Idk man I only work here. They all cut things. Will that be all today?
All about perspective. I like to believe in America if you go to a store which sells Damascus steel knives they can explain alot. Can't tell though because I am way to poor to enter those stores
Pretty much the same for any western culture country. Though we shouldn't blame the people in the shops, it's a societal thing. We are not willing to pay the premium necessary to have knowledgeable people in the shops, instead we look for the cheapest possible offer. At the same time we are also not willing to spend the effort required to be such a helpful salesperson even at the mediocre pay that one could get were a realistic compensation for such an effort be on offer, let alone the minimum wage that is actually available. The fact this is (still) happening in Japan is a combination of the culture of valuing service and dedication on the one side and a stagnant economy on the other side limiting the career perspectives of many.
"Japan: has a knife store and someone who knows the history of EVERYTHING" LOL. The salesperson only forgot to mention that the higher the steel hardness the more difficult a knife is to sharpen.
I love how thoughtful everything in Japan seems to be. Things just seem to be made well and even the experience is well thought out. Its made me approach my work differently because I think "it would be nice if it were a bit more like that here". Love your videos!
I was fortunate enough to not only discover this store online last year, but I was also able to visit the store October 2019. I purchased two knives. They were engraved with my name - done in Kanji!!! These knives are excellent and worth every penny. They are extremely efficient in cutting vegetables and meat. If I am able to visit Tokyo again, I will be going back to Kama-Asa and purchase a few more knives. Can't wait to see you using your new knives in the kitchen. Happy Holidays to you, and your Beautiful Family. Take Care and Be Safe.
This is more of a product design class where you understand the functionality of products. My design school doesn't teach this. lol. Learning a lot on UA-cam instead of school.
That was a lot of fun seeing a store you like to shop at. I hope to see more of them. Please keep up the good work your doing and let's hope for a 1 million subscribers soon!
I adore your channel and how you bring so much more light to my life I know Japan is a miraculous place but to see upfront how clean the city is how polite people are to one another and how everyone takes time and care for one another and life demands of living well with such grace I admire you all and thank you so much for making my life a little more brighter! 🙏🏾
6:30 wow the Chinese writing on the box is 庖丁 (pao ding) and it means "Ding the Butcher" in English! Ding is the name of an ancient Chinese butcher who mastered the art of butchery and could dissemble the whole cattle with his eyes closed. it's really impressive how they are using the story🥰
In Japanese, " 庖丁" is pronounced "ho-cho" and is a common noun referring to knives used in the kitchen. Most Japanese probably do not know about Mr. Pao Ding from ancient China.
Yup like that feeling shifted from dull knife to newly bought or professionally sharpened knife. I had the same reaction to her when my dressmaking shears was sharpened professionally and it cuts through thick tweeds and canvases.
I know you might not read this Kimono mom but I wasn't sure how to act around babies. But you really helped me with my niece :) She is about the same age as sutan and we successfully made pancakes together lol.
Quality, presentation, knowledge, service, attention to detail. The Japanese set the standards others weep over as they mostly fail to reach the collective heights.
That store is incredible! I would love to have unlimited money to shop there. So glad you love your new knifeand I can't wait to see more videos like this one!
This was excellent! The products are amazing and I had to pause many times to get a close look. I'd like to see more shopping videos with detailed information so I can understand the use and culture of the products. It's almost like being there.
The sales staff is really helpful and knowledgeable on her product. I appreciate this kind of person. I am once a Sales Staff and I study my product very well. Product knowledge is very important. It will give a better understanding to your prospective customers.
*5 years ago, I also prepared kitchenwares for my restaurant in KAPPA-BASHI!* *This video reminds me of then.* *By the way I was able to challenge because of you.* *Actually, I thought cooking with baby was dangerous.* *One day, I saw you really enjoy cooking with Sutan.* *Really Impressed!* *So I also started cooking with my baby.* *I’m so happy.* *Thank you* ^^ 😊😊
you chose the knife I had my eye on when the clerk brought out the selection! a comfortable and sharp knife is truly such a joy to use. the scene with you daughter in the kitchen is the most heartwarming thing I've seen all year. thank you
recently I bought a Santoku and it is a dream come true. I no longer cook just for eating but to have fun with my Japanese knife. I absolutely love it. So I completely understand your joy. Thanks for your video. どうもありがとうございました From France 🙏🤗🌏🌈
Wow so great! I absolutely love the attention to quality, explaining everything in detail, and the politeness and courteous manner the people all possess! I am blown away! Here in the USA, we take the pleasantries and kindness for granted and we don't take time to so so. There is such an appreciation and gratitude for the basics like shopping for a knife! We need to take lessons! I know how you feel about having a good knife! It makes a huge difference in cooking! Your culture just is so kind, thoughtful, and courteous as well as extremely hard- working and disciplined too.. Again, blown away by it all in a very pleasant way of course! Love your video and you and Sutan is precious! Admiring how calm you are and that your kimono stays clean while cooking- 🤗😉 I tend to get things all over my clothes! Oh, the history is so rich too. Just stunning country.
When I lived in Japan, I always found a reason to go to Kappabashi! I bought so much there (knives, sharpening stones, dishes). I really miss living there and visiting. Kama-Asa is a very nice shop. I've visited them all. lol
wow! i must say i have never seen firstly such dedicated customer service, and secondly never seen a homeware shop like this. its amazing. they really do care about the customer from beginning to end. love it
I have seen knives like that being made. It's a very long process which is reflected in the price, but the quality is something else. Beauty and function combined to perfection.
Her reaction to the knife cutting the tomato is such a vibe. I love new kitchen appliances and tools!! This video made me realize I need to get more cutting knives, honestly.
Sometimes I visit this shop,because I love cooking. Accurately many chefs who come from abroad,visit this shop and buy the super nice knives before the virus situation.
I really understand the joy and satisfaction of working with a really sharp knife! And it is so so beautiful! Congratulations to an excellent purchase.
I’m really happy to find the nice knife🥰

このチャネルを見つけて、とてもよかった! 日本語の勉強もできるし、料理の勉強もできます!
これかももっともっと面白いビデオを楽しみに待ってます！
I love seeing Sutan grow before my eyes! She loves to copy Kimono Mom and is so very sweet. I cant wait to watch more new contents of this channel.
That store is incredible! I would love to have unlimited money to shop there. So glad you love your new knifeand I can't wait to see more videos like this one!
I WAS WAITING ALL DAY FOR THIS
Same here😊🥰
This was excellent! The products are amazing and I had to pause many times to get a close look. I'd like to see more shopping videos with detailed information so I can understand the use and culture of the products. It's almost like being there.
The sales staff is really helpful and knowledgeable on her product. I appreciate this kind of person. I am once a Sales Staff and I study my product very well. Product knowledge is very important. It will give a better understanding to your prospective customers.
Even choosing knife seems interesting in Japan.
Ah Moe, it's great to see you promoting local businesses as well as showcasing your national cooking culture.! I love your work :)
They way sutan bow down yo say arigato was.....love....😍
May God bless her abundantly and you and your husband too..
The woman at the store is so knowledgeable. And the engraving “kimono mom” is so awesome❤️❤️💖💖
after hearing moe's speech, i dont know why but my respect for her shot higher than before. what an amazing woman
The saleswoman was so informative! I was getting sold on everything she showcased 😂
hello beautiful madam how are you doing, good morning how was your day?
I love that she gives us a little cultural tour in that knife store, it was fun to watch :)
Greetings from Turkey!
*5 years ago, I also prepared kitchenwares for my restaurant in KAPPA-BASHI!* *This video reminds me of then.* *By the way I was able to challenge because of you.* *Actually, I thought cooking with baby was dangerous.* *One day, I saw you really enjoy cooking with Sutan.* *Really Impressed!* *So I also started cooking with my baby.* *I’m so happy.* *Thank you* ^^ 😊😊
you chose the knife I had my eye on when the clerk brought out the selection! a comfortable and sharp knife is truly such a joy to use. the scene with you daughter in the kitchen is the most heartwarming thing I've seen all year. thank you
recently I bought a Santoku and it is a dream come true. I no longer cook just for eating but to have fun with my Japanese knife. I absolutely love it.
So I completely understand your joy. Thanks for your video. どうもありがとうございました

This is my favorite channel! Keep up the good work Moe! 💪🏼💯

Kimono mom: "Woaaaaaahhh!!!!!"
Adorable xD!!!!!!
Wow so great! I absolutely love the attention to quality, explaining everything in detail, and the politeness and courteous manner the people all possess! I am blown away! Here in the USA, we take the pleasantries and kindness for granted and we don't take time to so so. There is such an appreciation and gratitude for the basics like shopping for a knife! We need to take lessons! I know how you feel about having a good knife! It makes a huge difference in cooking! Your culture just is so kind, thoughtful, and courteous as well as extremely hard- working and disciplined too.. Again, blown away by it all in a very pleasant way of course! Love your video and you and Sutan is precious! Admiring how calm you are and that your kimono stays clean while cooking- 🤗😉 I tend to get things all over my clothes! Oh, the history is so rich too. Just stunning country.
When I lived in Japan, I always found a reason to go to Kappabashi! I bought so much there (knives, sharpening stones, dishes). I really miss living there and visiting. Kama-Asa is a very nice shop. I've visited them all. lol
wow! i must say i have never seen firstly such dedicated customer service, and secondly never seen a homeware shop like this. its amazing. they really do care about the customer from beginning to end. love it
can we appreciate her wearing kimono for us ✊🙂
I went to their website and they also have a shop in France! Nice!
Sutan is so cute!!!!
her and her daughter are so cute...seeing them together always warms my heart! 🥺❤️
I WATCHED WHOLE VIDEO WITHOUT SUBTITLES AND DIDNT EVEN NOTICE TILL THE END I just loved how genuinely happy there are🥺
Wow, that's a high quality knife!

There’s is nothing like shopping when your baby is asleep in the stroller.
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹
Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
Her personality is very great! Its not overly friendly, but is still friendly.
Bet that brightens up the women in the knife store’s mood
I have seen knives like that being made. It's a very long process which is reflected in the price, but the quality is something else. Beauty and function combined to perfection.
I love her English, so cute and I love her accent so much! Keep up the great job mama!
hello beautiful madam how are you doing, good morning
The word of the day : HOUCHOU 😸
Learn Japanese with Miss Sutan
I would love to see more places in Tokyo! This was a great video, and your kimono is so pretty!!
it's just pretty amazing how much art is put in every single detail
hello beautiful madam how are you doing, good morning
Her reaction to the knife cutting the tomato is such a vibe. I love new kitchen appliances and tools!! This video made me realize I need to get more cutting knives, honestly.
Sometimes I visit this shop,because I love cooking.
Accurately many chefs who come from abroad,visit this shop and buy the super nice knives before the virus situation.
I'm so happy, Kimono Mon is here!
I send you a giant hug from Venezuela. 😊😄
@China Boss Oh man, Venezuela is horrible. This is hell...
All is even worse.
Your kimono in this video is so gorgeous!!! Perfectly reflects the season 😍
The kimono gives her almost aristocratic air.
That little laugh and smile just make my day so much better!!!
I really understand the joy and satisfaction of working with a really sharp knife! And it is so so beautiful! Congratulations to an excellent purchase.
