A couple of train stops from Namba station and you arrive at Sakai station 10 minutes walk and you come to the store. It has an amazing range of high quality knives made by local makers some of the best in the country. The staff were very helpful and showed us loads of options. They even tried to organise a visit to a blacksmith however being Saturday it wasn't possible. We found the prices of the knives here was a lot cheaper than other stores in Osaka. I ended up buying 3 kitchen knives a pair of scissors and two sharpening stones (excess baggage here I come). So if you want kitchen knives come here.
