Founded in 1560, this long-established shop began as a swordsmith. The knives crafted with traditional techniques have long supported Kyoto cuisine. Inside the Nishiki store, mainly knives made by craftsmen are displayed, along with excellent cooking tools that combine functional beauty and are meant to last a lifetime. Knives are made with carefully selected steel, and pots are made with copper, brass, and aluminum, utilizing the characteristics of each material to create tools that are easy to use and can be repaired. Thank you for viewing.
