History

The pride of Goh Umanosuke Yoshihiro, one of the three greatest swordsmiths in Japan.

Since our establishment in 1927, we have been manufacturing and selling mainly high quality kitchen knives for professional use, as well as knives for a wide range of customers in the home, culinary schools, and culinary schools.

Our main brand, named after Goh Umanosuke Yoshihiro (郷右 馬允 요시히로), a sword smith from the Kamakura period, was highly acclaimed overseas ahead of the recent boom in Japanese knives.

In the Sakai cutlery industry where division of labor is the norm, Goh Umanosuke Yoshihiro was one of the first to establish an in-house knife cutting department and has been leading the field of high quality Japanese knives such as hon-yaki with its high quality sharpening.
