At REN, we believe that choosing the right knife is a personal process. Every knife has its own balance, steel characteristics, and purpose, and finding the right one often requires time, attention, and hands-on experience.
To provide a smooth and comfortable in-store experience for everyone, we encourage visitors to book an appointment in advance.
Are Walk-Ins Welcome?
Yes — walk-ins are welcome.
However, customers with a confirmed appointment will be served first.
This helps us ensure that scheduled consultations are not rushed and that everyone receives proper attention.
If you walk in without an appointment, we’ll be happy to assist you subject to availability.
Why Appointments Are Recommended
Unlike a typical retail visit, selecting a quality kitchen knife often involves discussion, comparison, and hands-on feels.
Booking an appointment allows us to:
-
Provide personal, one-to-one consultation
-
Understand your cooking style and preferences
-
Prepare suitable knives in advance
-
Avoid long waiting times
-
Ensure a calm, unrushed experience
Appointments help us serve you better, especially during busy periods.
What to Expect During an Appointment
During your visit, you’ll be able to:
-
View and handle selected knives in person
-
Receive guidance on knife selection and usage
-
Learn about proper care and maintenance
-
Discuss sharpening and long-term upkeep
Each session is tailored to your needs, whether you’re new to Japanese knives or an experienced user.
Who Should Book an Appointment
We strongly recommend booking if you:
-
Want personal guidance before purchasing
-
Prefer a focused, unhurried visit
-
Are visiting during peak hours

Walk-ins are always welcome, but appointments ensure priority service.
