The Masamoto Story

Masamoto Sohonten is one of Japan's most storied and respected knife makers, with a history stretching back to 1866 in Tokyo. Founded by Minosuke Matsuzawa, the house built its reputation supplying knives to the finest Japanese restaurants and professional kitchens - a tradition that continues to this day. Masamoto knives are synonymous with the highest standards of Japanese craftsmanship: hard carbon steel, precise single-bevel geometry, and a level of hand-finishing that reflects over 150 years of accumulated expertise. The brand is particularly celebrated for its traditional Japanese knife forms - yanagiba, deba, and usuba - the very blades that define washoku cooking. To own a vintage Masamoto set is to hold a piece of Tokyo's culinary history in your hands.

Care and Maintenance
