JIKKO Kitchen Knives Cutlery

Located in the city of Sakkai in Osaka prefecture, JIKKO Kitchen Knives Cutlery is one of the best and most famous companies for anyone looking for the finest Japanese cutlery.

JIKKO started relatively recently in 1901. Sakkai has been known for the past 600 years for its knife craftwork and unique technique. Unlike many other companies, foreign or not, JIKKO carefully and individually handcrafts, with only a handful produced each day. This explaining why around 90% of all Japanese top chefs are sourcing their knives from JIKKO.

So if you ever come and visit Osaka and are in the market for some of Japan’s finest knives, make sure to visit JIKKO’s original store in Sakkai or even better the new JIKKO store at Namba Station in Osaka, featured in this video!
