In reply to Robin. It's such a great place to wander around, we always find ourselves back there several times when we're in Kyoto and always find something new and fun to try. Congrats on your knife purchase, so hard to decide isn't it, even if you go in knowing exactly what you want the choice is overwhelming.

Hello! Love your article about one of my favorite places in Kyoto. I checked a knife from Aritsugu off my bucket list in March and brought it back to Atlanta in checked bags uneventfully. My name is stamped onto the blade in katakana, making it a lovely heirloom! Beware of the sharpness! I cut myself the first time I used my knife and disn’t Even know it until I saw blood!

PS Had the octopus with the egg and while good and a novelty for a photo, not the most delicious thing i’ve Tasted:). Worth the cost for the photo!

In reply to kieran mcgregor. Thanks Kieran, we're planning to head down there and get one when we're back in Kyoto in November.

Hey there, I bought a knife at Aritsugu and it was stamped with my name in Japanese then wrapped beautifully in a box. I then put it in my suitcase and flew Osaka to Narita and later Narits to Melbourne with zero issues. Its the shapest knife i own and is awesome to use!

In reply to Jasmine. Thanks Jasmine. I'm heading back to Japan today but not to Kyoto this time. I'm hoping to have lots of lovely fish and seafood in the north while enjoying the sights. Will be back in Kyoto in November and Drew's really keen to pick up a good kitchen knife at Nishiki for filleting and preparing fish this time so I will need to remember to update this post with how that goes.

Here's the info on bringing kitchen knives into Australia. I'm looking forward to getting some myself next year 🙂

I tried fresh Sakura mocha last year in Fukui. It's now superseded red bean mocha as my number 1 favourite!
