Aritsugu: The legendary Japanese knife brand with over a century of history

Author AvatarEmiOnishi

Aritsugu is one of Japan’s most renowned knife brands, with roots dating back to 1918 in Kyoto. Known for their masterfully crafted kitchen knives, visitors are drawn to their craftsmanship and history, making their shops consistently busy. It’s best to plan ahead if you’re stopping by at either one of their two locations in Tokyo (Tsukiji and Toyosu).

Aritsugu also provides sharpening and repair services, ensuring their knives remain functional works of art for years to come.
