Most of Made in Japan products are sourced from small, family-run kilns in Gifu on the central island of Honshu, with the rest of our collections sourced from all over Japan. Our products make their way from Japan to our lovely warehouse in Yorkshire, where we keep them safe until it’s time for them to head to their new homes.

Code: CS-056Designed to feel natural in everyday cooking, this Japanese-style santoku knife combines practical performance with timeless craftsmanship.
Inspired by traditional Japanese knives while offering the convenience of modern stainless steel, the blade is made from molybdenum vanadium steel for excellent sharpness, durability, and resistance to rust.
Traditionally designed for preparing vegetables, the straight-edged nakiri blade allows for smooth, precise cuts and clean contact with the chopping board.
Ideal for slicing, chopping, and preparing vegetables, herbs, and fruits, the wide blade shape also makes transferring ingredients from board to pan effortless during cooking.
Finished with a natural magnolia wood handle, the knife feels lightweight, warm, and comfortable in the hand, offering easy control for everyday use. A reinforced ferrule helps improve durability while helping prevent loosening and moisture damage over time.

What’s in the box?
Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware. Sustainability is important to us and we’re working hard on ways to keep items safe while being kind to the planet, too.
A beautiful small dish - exactly what I wanted. It’s charming and a beautiful blue. Delivery was very rapid and the dish was carefully wrapped in Japanese newspaper and bubble wrap. Very pleased!
