Tower Knives is the best Japanese knife shop in Japan for foreigners with its native English-speaking staff like Joe. The whole process made it the easiest way to buy a quality Japanese knife without speaking Japanese. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and you'll learn so much about the fascinating world of Japanese knives there. I cannot recommend Tower Knives enough if you're shopping for a quality Japanese handmade knife. They even have a shop in Tokyo and can deliver overseas. Tower Knives is where to buy a Japanese knife in Japan.
My knife was around JPY 13,000 / USD 100.12 / AUD 141.73.

Stopped in there randomly one day on my dream trip to Japan to mark off a bucket list item of getting a chef knife in Japan. Ended up meeting the owner who took us out for food and karaoke that evening and ended up being the absolute highlight of my trip.

@Rock_Girl_Daze 2 года назад

Very cool shop. The manager is right. A good knife will last a lifetime, if you care for it properly. A good knife was one of the very few items I purchased when I first moved away from home... and I still have it decades later.

@linnyunt 2 года назад

Thanks for watching! Yes, very true. Look after your knife and it'll look after you.

@dimitripeacock5967 День назад

Thanks for the video! Your vids are great to watch. Convinced the missus to get one from here when we go.

Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear that.

FYI, my knife was about ¥13,000. Have you ever used a Japanese knife, own one or plan to buy one?

@Rock_Girl_Daze 2 года назад

I do not own a Japanese knife, however these knives look functional and well made. I would buy one 😃

@linnyunt 2 года назад

Nice one. I've wanted to buy one for the longest time but was worried about the language barrier. My Japanese is still pretty bad so when I found out about this shop, I was super excited.

@kiwihermit5080 Год назад

Very late reply but only just found your video. I visited Tower Knives in Osaka back in 2019 and fell in love with a traditional handle, high carbon santoku knife there that was made in Shikoku if I recall correctly. When I did the vege cutting test was blown away by how smoothly the blade just GLIDED through! All the staff were super friendly and I gave them all some small NZ chocolates I brought with me as thanks. Would love to go back there someday and add to my collection. The second knife I bought in that same vacation was in Aritsugu in Kyoto. Another santoku, high carbon blade but jacketed in stainless steel and with a Western knife style handle. The female staff member who helped me choose a knife was serving a woman from France beforehand and was speaking in fluent French with her. Was very impressed that she then proceeded to speak with me in perfect English as well! Both stores were so memorable and every time I use either knife brings back fond memories of Japan.

haha. Nice shop and nice to have an English speaker. The Knife museum in Sakai is nice but this shop also looks great. If you and Lito want to go some time we should all go. The Trolly to gthere is super cute. That B roll is sexxy af. nice interview

@linnyunt 2 года назад

The B-roll was actually free too! I got it from a site called pexels.com.

@linnyunt 2 года назад

Yeah, Ali and I planned on taking the street car down there for that exact purpose.

@foundinjapan 2 года назад

@@linnyunt Cool they have other stuff there. Sakai is also famous for senko and tenugui. They have them at the shop. I don't know if they are going on now but I went on a factory tour there for them some time ago not just the knifes. They also have other stuff at the knife place like clippers and equipment made by craftsmen. I have several friends in the culinary field and I try and go and get them knifes for when I go back.

@Tamselz Месяц назад

Daaaang...so that's how it works. I really want to get my knife there so bad

Why would I need a knife that big?

@einundsiebenziger5488 4 месяца назад

To cut the biggest tuna there is in one draw, that's why.

@einundsiebenziger5488 4 месяца назад

You did not only say "(cuts) like butter", you even displayed a butter emoji. Where does this expression even come from when butter is too soft to cut anything but would only make everything greasy?

@linnyunt 4 месяца назад

The full expression is, "It cuts like a hot knife through (cold) butter." So I meant that it was extremely smooth like that.

@einundsiebenziger5488 4 месяца назад

@@linnyunt Thanks for the fast reply. I am aware of that expression, it's just that the short version "like butter" is used so frequently everywhere it gets annoying. Other than that your video was a joy to watch. Looking forward to finally visit Japan also to get some inspiration what a proper knifeshop should look like.
