What beautiful craftsmanship! I am merely an employee of Target here in Colorado and I met Brad ringing him up at my register. You can never believe what surprises are around the corner. My goal is to travel to Japan and perhaps teach English there. As well as travel just like your family has. Just saying thank you for stopping by at target, Brad, it opened my eyes a little bit more and I have an even stronger push to strive for my goal! Always great to meet people with the same interests, as I have not found to many. I look forward to reading the rest of your adventures from your stay, as well as trying some of those nifty recipes you have posted.

げんきで. Mickale fromo target.

I did not realize Sakai was the most famous place for knives! Thanks for the info. I’m thinking I should have gotten another knife…definitely get more than 1 when you make your purchase!

I could have spent the entire trip at Nishiki. I love it!

I purchased a stone but not a cutting board. I’ll certainly have to do that before I leave though!

What timing! Tsukiji would be a great place to buy a knife.

I went into their store once and drooled a little at their knives. One fun fact is that those knives aren’t made in Kyoto, but manufactured in Sakai(where I live) which is the most famous place in Japan for knives. Sakai had the best sword makers back in the day and when that became illegal, they turned to knives. I’m saving my yen to invest in a Sakai blade or two before I leave here.
