My wife will be in Tokyo for about 10 days for work. I would like to get a few good chisels and couple chef knives. I have several Koyamaichi chisels (oire nomi) that I like and looking to get chisels that are even better. Have no experience with Japanese knives. Looking for something better than Wusthof and Cutco. As for price range; around $100-$150 per chisel or per knife, could go a little higher for the knives.
Big question is where to purchase them. I searched prior posts on this, Tokyu Hands come up, but from what I understand they carry lower quality (equivalent of big box store items here). Any suggestions on where my wife can go to purchase these items in or around Tokyo.
