Story
Earlier this year we had the opportunity to visit Niigata, where we met an incredible community of makers, factories, and distributors. We were generously guided through the region by the Japanese government where we met some truly talented people.
It was the peak of winter and bitterly cold but being surrounded by mountains made the experience unforgettable. Our days were spend in Tsubame-Sanjo, a region renowned for its steel craftsmanship. This area is one of Japan’s leading hubs for metalwork, with a long-standing reputation for precision and quality.
Choosing what to bring back wasn't easy, there were so many beautifully made utensils we wanted to take home. In the end, we selected two thoughtfully priced cutlery ranges: timeless, everyday essentials crafted with exceptional Japanese quality. We also selected some chef’s knives, ultra-fine sieves and a few other pieces that reflected the remarkable attention to detail.

Along the seacoast, the Marinepia Nihonkai aquarium has sea otters and dolphins. Part of the Northern Culture Museum, the Ito Estate was home to a wealthy 1800s family and displays their art collection. South are the hot springs of Iwamuro.
