築地正本

I bought one Gyuto Knife. Crew was very helpful. They answered all of my questions. The knife is razor sharp. Next time I’m in Tokyo, I am buying more!

お願いして研いでもらいましたが、切れも変わらず、こんな研ぎ方でした。受け取った時汚れかと思い、拭き取ろうとしたけれど取れず…こういうものなのでしょうか？燕三条で研いでもらったものは、それなりに美しい刃になって返ってきたのですが、こちらはそうではないようでがっかりしました。

I just love everything about Tsukiji area! Even better than before when the fish market was operating there!

The best knife I have ever used till now. The price is reasonable and they accept dollars and euros too! But go with someone who can speak Japanese.

The best place to get knives.the japanese knives are razor sharp.the build quality of the tsukiji masamoto is top notch.it’s going to a small artisanal familly owned shop.they have great choice and can’t recommend more their carbon knives.don’t get the SK3 or white steel 3 but instead the V1 version or white steel 2 (or white steel 1 or blue steel if you want to splurge$$). Also get the sayas as well so rhey do the fitting for you.also note they don’t credit card but cash! They have a locationin the new fish market but this one is really convenient.they open early too so you can do knive shopping behore!

いいものを
あつかってますが、
曜日の人によって接客が
全然ちがいます
包丁の柄なおしてもらったのですが
、すぐに取れてしまいました
その日に、よって人ちがうので
うまい人、できない人が多いのでは
同じ柳包丁買いに行ったのに
前のと短いし、柄が割れてた時も
ありました
しっかりお金とるのに、
あたり、はずれが、ありすぎる

Mediocre knives (compared to the competition) that are far overpriced. Overrated from head to toe. Have had multiple bad experiences with the staff-very discriminatory against tourists or anyone who looks remotely foreign. Bad English if you don’t speak Japanese.

Save yourself the headache and go to Aritsugu or Masahisa instead-you will regret going here.

Not Worth Your Time or Money: My son and I have visited on two separate occasions to buy several commercial grade knives. On both occasions, all the floor staff even ones came from back of the shop were rude, impatient, and arrogant dealing with us.

They’ve told us they can NOT engrave our names on purchased knives other than simple Katakana’s. They claimed our kanji’s had two many strokes for engraving.

Turned out Aritsugu and Masahisa - just around the corner - their floor staff were all courteous and very personable, and very bilingual as well. They were both more than happy to engrave our names in kanji’s, right on the spot, within minutes for knives we’ve purchased.

Masamoto feels rather “hard” on cutting board, whilst both Aritsugu snd Masahisa feel “softer” if you know what I mean. They are all high quality knives, but

Do Not Waste Your Time on Tsukiji Masamoto. There are many other authentic knife dealers, which practices and values much appreciated Japanese “omotenashi” ethics, which clearly Tsukiji Masamoto is lacking, or has lost over the years

Wasn't impressed, Japanese carbon steel knives, poorly balanced. Not what I expected in terms of quality.

Watch out! They cheat foreigners! In my case they sold me a stainless steel knife (€ 150!) when in reality, it is oxidizable! In only one month of use, it is already quite rusty and I have to clean it at every moment.

素晴らしい鋼の包丁が購入できます。
少し時間を預ければ名入れもしてくれます。
手入れは多少大変ですが市販の包丁とは
比べ物にならない切れ味を体感できます。

初めて購入する際も分からないことは
丁寧に教えてくれます。

店の前でガンガン包丁を研いでいることもあるので少し入りにくい雰囲気もありますが、取り扱っているのはすごく良い包丁です。ここで買った鋼製の牛刀をかれこれ10年以上、たまに研ぎながら使っていますが、今もとてもよく切れるので料理にとても重宝しています。ただし、ここの包丁に限らず鋼製の包丁は、ステンレス製の包丁と違ってすぐに錆びるので、使ったらすぐに水気をふき取って食用油を塗っておく必要があります。包丁だけではなく、砥石もお取り扱いがありますので、砥石が無い人は一緒の購入すると良いです。
ここの店員さんは職人さんでもあるので、デパートのような丁寧な接客は期待してはいけませんが、こちらの質問にはきちんと答えてくれました。包丁のお手入れ方法など、わからなければはず恥ずかしがらずに聞いてみましょう。

わが家では、刺身用の和包丁は主に築地正本を使っています。
正本は本焼も青一の霞も刃が付くまでやや時間が掛かりましたが、一度付くと家庭使用では中々切れ止む事がありません。いろいろな砥石を試しましたが、刃先は奥殿巣板や大谷山戸前との相性が良かったです。（霞の化粧仕上げに丸尾山白巣板）
