About Kaijirushi Hamonoten Kyoto Store

The concept of this store is "Beyond 'Sharpness': Changing Tools Changes Daily Life - A Cutlery Solution Boutique."

We not only propose the optimal knife for the customer's use and ingredients but also carefully explain the correct usage and maintenance methods. Through in-store trial cutting and knife sharpening, we propose the perfect "encounter with cutlery" that aligns with the user's lifestyle.

In addition, we have opened "#Experience Lab" on the second floor, where we plan to hold workshops and other events to convey the appeal of our products. We redefine the value of "comfortable living" brought about by cutlery, going beyond mere tools, and deliver new experiences that enrich and color daily life.
