Very beautiful ignite knife. Fantastic crafted and will last me for years to come. The grip with the paracord is expertly wrapped and the sharpness is everything that is advertised. I highly recommend ordering knives and goods from Japanese Food Craftsman. High quality products that will last you a life time.

I received the Minomo Santoku knife. It is a beautiful knife that arrive quite sharp. Highly recommended! I also order the Tokyo Rainbow Spice flavor box. Spices are fantastic. Also recommend this 100%. Also very happy with Mari and her help. Great experience all around.

Beautiful knife, very sharp. One of the best crafted knives in my kitchen set. I will use this and hopefully pass it down to my family.

The two forged knives I ordered were of excellent make. They look beautiful, razor sharp, and were shipped with a lot of care.

Thank you, very much, for enabling all of us to see how such wonderful people live and work outside of our own country (for me, on the other side of the world). Thank you, very much, for letting us engage with these amazing craftspeople, and letting us actually purchase works of art from them. I have loved Japan and its myriad artistic expressions for decades, and it makes me incredibly happy to be able to support local craftspeople in this manner.

I knew this glass was beautiful when I first saw it online (I, honestly, put it in my personal wishlist the first time I saw it, in case I could afford it later), but receiving it in person made me truly appreciate just how gorgeous it is. The colors added so expertly inside the lower half of the glass make it shine in any light, and when used for its purpose the color of the liquid makes the shapes of the glass stand out incredibly in different ways.

The best part of this glass, to me, is how the shape of it, and the colors, all mix together with the way the bubbles trapped inside the glass itself catch your eye; they make me stop and look at it every time I drink from it, because they react so differently to so many different types and colors of liquids.

At times the bubbles within the glass, as I look at it, have reminded me of stars.

I very much love this glass, and I am thankful for both the opportunity to purchase it, and the effort and spirit that the craftspeople put into it. I hope that I can purchase more in the future so that I can share this quality and beauty with my friends and family.

Thank you very much, "Japanese Food Craftsman", and thank you very much Soejima Kiln and the people who made this wonderful glass.

You have my permission to put any part or all parts of my reply into your website, because I am so very pleased with this product. Thank you, very much.

Excited to have received my knife in Canada! No issues with shipping and everything arrived beautifully packed. I also appreciate the information that was included in the package. The engraving was just as I requested. Love the way the knife feels and performs! You can feel the quality, and the craftsmanship is outstanding. Highly recommend!

I saw a Youtube video about the crafting of these beautiful boxes. I am a wood-lover, and craftsman myself...so I wanted to support the craftsman. I am so glad I did. They are fine and beautifully made. They are a gift for my daughter.

I saw the video on YouTube about the three generations of Minomo Blacksmith knife makers. So I decided to order one of these knives. At that moment they were sold out, but on the next occasion I managed to order one. Great knife, sharp as a knife can possibly be. Beautifully made, perfect to use. Shipping was done as good as it can be, with detailed info. So, conclusion, very well, highly recommended!

I just received my 2nd knife and it is a piece of art. I loved the first one so much i gave it to my son for Christmas and ordered myself a new one. We both cook a lot and we love the "feel" of these knives as much as the look. It's a great addition to any kitchen where knives are used constantly.

The knife that I received is beautiful and useful beyond all my expectations. Please send my heartfelt appreciation to the artisan. Very happy with the item and the perfect transaction managed by Japanese Food Craftsman. I would not hesitate to order another time. You can buy with absolute confidence and most importantly keep the traditoinal craft methods for the future by supporting the artisans in a very concrete way!

The knife is beautiful and sharp! The personalized kanji is a wonderful personal touch. Knowing it was hand crafted by this multi-generational family of artisans makes this purchase so unique. I love it.

This will not be my last knive, which i bought by you. Perfect handling, perfect product, i love it. 👍🏻

Beautiful knife from an amazing little smithy. Loved the content and it feels awesome to have a potential heirloom to use daily and enjoy its beauty. Process was highly communicative, which I appreciated as the knife made its way from Japan to Boston.

The Minomo Blacksmith kitchen knife is very sharp! The forged blade and smooth wooden handle are a nice contrast. Very efficient on the cutting board yet beautiful to display. The order and communication from Japanese Food Craftsman is top notch. I highly recommend their products.

Really nice set. I ordered right after I saw the video and got lucky. It sold out so fast. The knife looks just like the ones in the video. And it took only 8 days to be delivered to the US! Thank You
