Aritsugu

cooking gear

This shop has a long history dating back to 1560 when it was originally founded as "Swordsmith Fujiwara Aritsugu." In the shop, an impressively wide variety of knives, pots, and other cooking utensils handmade by skilled craftspeople are lined up as if reflecting the long history of the store. It is supported by a wide range of customers, from top chefs of Kyoto cuisine to ordinary households.

"We believe that a knife has a lifelong relationship with its owner from the time it is bought. Therefore, we take pride in repairs and after-sales services," they say. "We strive to provide our customers with long-lasting use of our knives through repairs such as sharpening."

This store's attitude is reflected in the way they say they "take care" of knives as if to take care of a person.

They value things that will always remain the same while they also incorporate new changes.
