One of my favorite shops in all NYC. If you’re crazy about Japanese plates, bowls, ceramics and such, this is definitely the best place to go. Furthermore, the store’s high note is its knifes selection, as well as apparels, such as sharpening stones. All my knives were purchased at Korin and I highly recommend it to everyone who is in need of a professional kitchen knife.

What a fantastic experience. I was shown a variety of knives in the types I needed (a petty and a nakiri). Our sales assistant was knowledgeable and patient. Im already planning my next trip to add to my collection.

This review is a bit late coming, but this place is excellent. I was lucky enough to to be shown knives by Vincent. Vincent is a wonderful, knowledgeable, and over all great guy! I visited Korin to purchase a knife with money that my grandmother left me in her will. Vincent engraved my knife with her name on it, and it is currently my most prized possession. I am truly grateful for Vincent and his help that day. I would strongly encourage anyone to shop for knives here. They have an incredible selection, quality makers, and god tier customer service. Thank you Vincent.

Superior knife sharpening. Very friendly and attentive customer service. I dont know about professional cutlery, but these seem to be the most impressive, intimidating, gleaming, most bowel eviscerating selection of knives Ive ever seen. If I need my appendix taken out, to hell with NewYork Presbyterian, Im coming here. Oh and they have a very nice selection of Japanese pottery as well. So if you need a container to put your appendix in when theyre done youre all set!

Absolutely wonderful place!!! Yuka (hope I spelled it correctly) was wonderful at helping my son pick his first Japanese chef knife. And Mike... where to begin!!! What a wonderful chef/teacher/knife salesman. Me and my 2 children learned so much from his experience. Thank you so much. We will be there hopefully sooner than later to help my sons knife collection grow.

Dropped off a Shigefusa Kogatana for sharpening after the knife chipped in the kitchen sink. Top-notch sharpening, done reasonably quickly. Item shipped back to me promptly and was packaged well. Korin does not disappoint. Also, Huiqin is very cute.

Korin caters to both the restaurant trade and the home chef. Beautiful Japanese tableware and a great selection of Japanese (often expensive) knives. The knives here are the same quality as those at Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, but more expensive — if you don’t factor in the cost the plane ticket, of course. Staff is friendly and helpful, whether you’re buying one place setting or fifty.
