Nenohi Cutlery

Easily the finest handcrafted Japanese knives at Tsukiji. I bought a Mirioshi Deba (White Steel 2) after my classes at a nearby sushi school. The quality of the knives are impeccable - don’t take my word for it. Shop around, study the finishing of the knives from other shops. You’ll find Nenohi’s streets ahead. Prices are cheap though, but if you want premium, you can’t go far wrong with Nenohi.

The highest quality knives of any shop in the market.

Small and friendly shop. A bit steep in price. But well worth the money should u want a knife that lasts a lifetime.

There is a shop in the building facing Nakadori, almost in the middle of the Tsukiji Outer Market, but it is a little deeper. The assortment is completely for craftsmen. Many chefs come all the way from abroad to buy a kitchen knife that suits their purpose. The manager will choose together with the right advice. The price is not cheap, but it is recommended for those who want to get a valuable knife for a lifetime.

Japanese knives are a place where you can trust
