Jikko is a knife maker from Sakai, Osaka, and this is its own shop in Tokyo. The ground floor is a gallery of Sakai knives, with a few pieces you are unlikely to meet elsewhere; on 2F, 150 knives are laid out together so you can compare them in the hand before deciding. The company’s online shop takes engraving, sharpening and repairs, and handle replacement.
Hours are 10:00–17:30, and the shop’s own site says it has essentially no closing days, so it will fit into whichever day of a trip you have free.
