What you can expect

The sword techniques once used by samurai have been passed down to today's Japanese knives.

Honyaki refers to Japanese knives that are made by punching a single piece of steel out of a block, imitating the hon-forging technique of Japanese swords.

Among these, there is a shop in Kappabashi that sells water-hardened knives, which are extremely rare and require particularly advanced techniques.

Please enjoy this masterpiece created by a skilled Japanese knife craftsman.

When you pick it up and look at it, you can feel its sophisticated beauty and it will make you smile.

Additionally, as food professionals gather from all over Japan, you can get your hands on a variety of Japanese tableware, chopsticks, Nanbu ironware, food samples, and more.
