Brand Introduction:
Sakai Takayuki is the signature brand of Aoki Hamono, inheriting over 600 years of Sakai blade-making heritage.
Sakai is one of Japan’s three major knife-producing regions, originally known for crafting samurai swords.
In the 16th century, the rise of tobacco knives led to the development of high-quality handmade kitchen knives, which later became official products of the Edo Shogunate.
Their wide product lineup includes single-bevel, double-bevel, Japanese, and Western-style knives, exported to over 100 countries.
The “Sakai Takayuki Knife Gallery & Lounge” integrates knives, art, and culinary culture, offering visitors deeper insight into Japanese craftsmanship.
