Gokujo Series
"Gokujō" (極上) means "supreme" in Japanese, and our Gokujō Series is one of our proudest. Artisans forge White Steel #2 in fire with traditional methods, then polish the blade by hand. The result is a sleek blade, with great cutting ability and edge retention. The powerful mist lines near the edge further exemplify this master craftsmanship. Topped with a magnolia handle, these knives are feather-light, meaning less muscle strain.
Our Gokujō knives are all about high performance while retaining traditional aesthetics.

Wa-Gyuto
A Wa-Gyuto Chef's Knife is a French-style chef's knife fitted to a Japanese-style handle, familiar to traditional Japanese chefs. These handles are often Octagonal, D-shaped (Chestnut-type), or Round (Circle-type). Wa-Gyuto knives are all-purpose and made for meat, vegetables, and fish. This makes them a popular choice for chefs in Western restaurants throughout Japan. For preparing meat blocks or cutting cabbage into strips, a 300mm Wa-Gyuto is best. 270mm also works for cooking if the cutting board is large enough. 240mm is popular with professionals, as it handles tasks from preparation to delicate work. 180mm and 210mm are popular for home use, as they cut through large pieces of food without much strain.
White Steel #2
A highly pure carbon steel, being easy to sharpen while staying cost-effective. Highly recommended as the best steel for your first professional quality knife.
Carbon Steel
White Steel #2 is the benchmark carbon steel for Japanese kitchen knives. White Steel #2 knives are widely used by chefs who specialise in Japanese cuisine, more so than other carbon steels. This steel has very few impurities, making the knife both easy to sharpen and less expensive due to the non-inclusion of rare metals.
*NOTE: Carbon Steel is susceptible to rust if it is not properly cared for. Please clean and dry the blade regularly during use and after use.
Magnolia Octagonal Handle
Our octagonal magnolia wood handles are designed to be comfortable to hold. Made with natural magnolia, they are complemented with bolsters made from ethically sourced buffalo horn and polished until there is no height gap between the two. The unique grain of magnolia wood contours to your hand as you continue to use it.
Forge Welded
Forge Welded knives undergo a forging process where steel is heated to high temperatures and then shaped with a hammer. This carefully done process changes the internal structure of the steel, producing a blade with superior hardness levels. Highly skilled craftspeople forge, quench, and create the knife's cutting edge by hand, resulting in a sharp blade with long edge retention.

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.
