The neighborhood

Harajuku

Harajuku is the center of Tokyo street style. Explore Takeshita Street and the back lanes of Ura-Harajuku. Omotesando is a few blocks over. Our Harajuku store sits in the middle of it, a few minutes on foot from Harajuku Station.

Inside, the yellow knife wall is hung like a collection. Everything on it is for cooking, and you can pick up any knife and try it.

Drop in on your way from Meiji Jingu to the shops. Staff will hand you a knife and a vegetable, and you decide by feel.

Yes. Every ZAKU store carries every knife type, including santoku, gyuto, yanagiba and deba, plus whetstones and saya covers.
Can I try a knife before I buy it?
Yes. Every knife type is out for test cutting. Staff hand you a vegetable so you can try two or three knives before you choose.

Yes, in checked luggage, never in your carry-on. We pack the knife for the trip. Our guide covers the rules: Can I bring knives home from Japan?
Is shopping tax-free?
