Hi everyone.
I just started working professionally in a Japanese restaurant and I want to become a sushi chef. I will be in Japan soon and I want to use the opportunity to get some new knives. I asked my teacher for advise on what kind of knife I should add to my inventory first and he told me to get a 270mm Gyuto and a 270mm Sujihiki. Would love some input on what knives to buy and where to get them in Tokyo. Thank you very much in advance.
