I am a chef for a living and taking my first trip to Japan. I was wondering if anyone is familiar of any Japanese Knife makers shops, where i might be able to purchase or even view the building process? Thanks

The knife shops in Tsukiji don't actually show the building process, but in they do show you the 4 stages of sharpening, which is extraordinary to watch...the care and attention is amazing: the knife we chose was lethally sharp, and THEN they sharpened it to their perfect standard!! Worth noting: we have only bought in Tsukiji: and the knives are carbon steel, not stainless steel: so if that's what you buy, be prepared to rinse and clean immediately after use, oil, and store in waxed paper...otherwise they stain....badly..... Enjoy!
