A perfect blend of Japanese craftsmanship and modern design.

Featuring a blade made from Japanese VG-1 Stainless Steel, it offers a long-lasting sharp edge for precise cutting. This VG-1 blade was created under the leadership of Ichimonji’s second-generation owner, Umewaka, who spent five years and over 200 prototypes developing it. The goal was to produce a knife that meets the exacting demands of serious chefs for hardness, precision, and long-term performance. The result became one of the cornerstones of professional kitchens in Japan.

The modern Japanese octagonal handle, made from the same VG-1 stainless steel, combines traditional aesthetics with contemporary functionality. Its frosted finish provides a non-slip grip, improving safety and usability for both professional chefs and home cooks. Designed for food hygiene and comfort, the handle is dishwasher-safe for easy maintenance. Its durable and ergonomic construction ensures fatigue-free use across a variety of culinary tasks, making the Kirameki knife a reliable and stylish choice for any kitchen.
