Tower Knives Osaka, Osaka

Amazing shop with very friendly and helpful staff that speak English! Loved the way they explained us everything and provided us with samples to try the blades, explained how to sharpen them and showed the contents of the handle. Very very very patient staff! Was amazed! They also do engraving of whatever you want, and we decided to engrave our names on the knifes and saw how they do it. Great experience! Also saw how they make the knifes. Thank you dear members of staff for our experience and we are happy with our purchase! We also loved the way our knifes were packed in a present wrap with cute golden stickers!

I heard about Tower Knives in Osaka from my Kyoto guide. I had been looking for a few knives as i am an amateur chef and my family also likes to cook. I spent some time researching knife shops in Tokyo Knives always came up as a great place to shop. The Bad: There are tour groups who come in from time to time and crowd the place. They look and touch and rarely buy anything. But I guess this is normal for a high end shop that has so many selections and English speaking salespeople. The Good: There was zero pressure to buy anything. Hiroko, my salesperson, patiently explained all of the features of the different knives available. I mustve spent at least an hour asking questions (and comparing prices on my phone...) I ended up buying three gorgeous knives- 2 santoku and 1 vegetable knife called a nakiri- from Tower. I couldnt be happier with the purchase :) THANKS HIROKO! THANKS TOWER!!
