I been to so many knives stores and shops. I brought all my knives here. Really here u will have a experienced ex chef who provide a good service to anyone who loves their kitchen tools and knives alot. The Boss and Mr Joseph personally select their products to recommend here in their shop. No hanky or no COPY CAT from their competitors. Because they valued their knives and tools for the kitchen. Really know their stuff well. Thank you for providing me good service and do the same for others as well.. keep it up.

Really cool place that sells everything you'll need in a Japanese inspired kitchen. The guy working there was informative and told me if I'm interested in any whetstones I could give it a try with their whetstones first before making up my mind. Cosy and fantastic place!

TL;DR: nice aesthetic place to visit, window shop, have a chat and coffee, learn about knives and related cooking stuff. They even have coffee table books so you can act like you’re a cooking god while serving tidbits to your dinner party guests. For some reason, this shop did not show up on my radar until recently. As a knife nerd, it was delightful to finally talk knife stuff with another knife-obsessed fellow. I just like the shop’s vibe a little more than the shop at Outram, but this is one man’s personal preference. Joseph(?) knows his stuff well and eventually talked me into getting a Tanaka 1000 grit whetstone which I previously never heard of before. This shop specializes in mid to high range Japanese whetstones, Japanese knives mainly from Hitohira, and then other kitchen and grilling accessories, in this order respectively. (What this means for the uninitiated is “relatively expensive and very pretty kitchen equipment” - expensive to the layman, reasonable cost to those in the know. As always, you get what you pay for.) The not-so-nice part is that descriptions on half the items are sorely lacking on the website, so it’s hard to do an initial comparison for those used to online shopping. It’s easy to see a price tag and be turned off because the only info available is price, without knowing how the product performs. Would love more details on the website! For the cooking enthusiast who appreciates interaction with the salesperson, this is a shop worth looking at.

Best kitchen store in Singapore, the manager Joseph really knows his stuff and is so willing to go out of his way to help and share his knowledge with his customers. Fantastic selection of high end Japanese knives and other kitchen things. Joseph helped me get a taxi and was even willing to run after the driver in heavy rain when he passed us by. Great customer service by a great guy!
