*Double-check your name is entered correctly in the "Optional Engraving" section. We accept no responsibility for items incorrectly engraved due to customer error such as typos. Engraved items cannot be returned or refunded.

*To have your name engraved in Japanese, type "JP" and your name's origin/accent after it (EG: "Agethe-JP French"). We'll engrave your name in Katakana (Japanese syllabary used for foreign words) onto the knife. Katakana is based on pronounciation, so if a country of origin is not listed we will go with an American English pronounciation.

*For Kanji requests (Japanese syllabary based off Chinese characters), type KANJI after your name and the name's origin/accent (EG: "Agethe-KANJI French"). We will select Kanji for you based on this.

A knife store that has supported the history of knives and food culture in Japan.

It has been 600 years since the birth of swordmaking in the Sakai region of Japan. Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide's and it's craftsmen continue to build on that legacy by producing the finest blades in Japan.
This is where the culture of completing a dish of sashimi by "just cutting" and the culture of expressing sharpness as "taste" was born.
For 70 years, we have been connecting the spirit of Sakai's craftsmen with the passion of chefs in Osaka's kitchen equipment shopping district, known as the kitchen of Japan.
We are very happy that our knives can be used by people all over the world.
