Masamoto Hongasumi Gyokuhaku Steel Yanagiba Sashimi Knife
More Than Flavor—An Art of Presentation
Japanese cuisine delights not only the palate, but also the eyes. Its beauty lies in both taste and presentation. To support this, Japanese knives come in a wide variety of styles, each tailored to the preparation and cutting of seasonal ingredients.
Most Japanese blades are single-edged, allowing them to enter ingredients at an acute angle. This precise approach creates clean, smooth surfaces—enhancing the visual appeal of each dish and showcasing the artistry behind every cut.

A Legacy Forged in Tradition
Masamoto Sohonten was established in the late Edo period by Minosuke Matsuzawa, the first in a long line of master knife makers. He dedicated his life to perfecting the art of knife craftsmanship, setting the standard for quality and precision that continues to define the brand.
For over six generations, Masamoto Sohonten has remained committed to preserving and refining the founder’s unwavering pursuit of excellence.
