Ubukeya

Ceramics / Stone and Clay / Metal
Ubukeya is a traditional Japanese blade maker that was established in 1783. Nestled between the buildings in Nihonbashi Ningyocho is a wooden storefront where it feels like you've stepped back in time. Ubukeya's name originated when store founder Kinosuke said their knives were sharp enough to shave, cut and remove ubuge (peach fuzz). Now they offer an array of western and Japanese blades, knives, scissors, and tweezers. Their tweezers are highly praised and smiths bring their unfinished items for the craftsmen to sharpen into finished blades.

    人形町にある刃物屋さん。最近は新しいお店やマンションが建ち下町の面影はないが、こちらのお店は時が止まったように昔の佇まいのお店である。店員さんも昔ながらの粋な方々である。毛抜きや食用鋏などが人気のお店だが、個人的にはこちらの封切小刀と爪切りがお気に入り。日本人には刃物のプレゼントはあまり好まれないが海外の方やこだわりのある方に送るにはなかなか良い物だと思います。お値段は正直安くはあり...
  • 毛抜きを買いに人形町へ

    使っている普及品の毛抜きが使い勝手は良いにもかかわらず、刃先が使えなくなりやすいので、長持ちする毛抜きを買いにこちらへ伺いました。人形町の交差点のすぐそばにお店があること、これまで気が付いていませんでした。昔ながらの小さな店舗で、老舗の風情があります。毛抜きのほかにハサミ、包丁、爪切りなどが陳列してありました。毛抜きは4000円とその3倍くらいのと2種類ありました。高いほうは、ものすごく長期間使え...
