Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide stands out for its storefront displays of long, slender Japanese kitchen knives, often arranged in rows that catch the light. This shop traces its lineage back to the sixteenth century in the city of Sakai, a place renowned for its sword makers. When the demand for swords waned, the smiths shifted their precision forging techniques to professional chef knives. Today, the masters here sharpen and temper carbon steel blades by hand, maintaining traditions passed down through hundreds of years of craftsmanship.
