Home | Kōchi Prefecture

In Kōchi Prefecture, the Tosa region has carved out its place as one of Japan’s most spirited knife-making communities. With a reputation for rugged, hand-forged tools, Tosa knives are known for their character, performance, and unique rustic finishes. Blacksmiths here blend centuries-old techniques with a down-to-earth approach, offering exceptional value and usability without sacrificing quality.

Kōchi is also celebrated as one of Japan’s premier regions for yuzu cultivation. The local climate and terrain support vibrant, aromatic citrus used in a range of culinary applications — one standout being Yuzukararin, a spicy yuzu and chili pepper condiment that embodies the region’s bold, balanced flavors made in Mihara Village. Like its knives, Kōchi’s food culture reflects an appreciation for honest ingredients, craftsmanship, and everyday functionality.

Our collection from Kōchi brings together knives that reflect the region’s hardworking ethos. Expect bold geometry, natural finishes like kurouchi and tsuchime, and a focus on practical performance. Whether you’re slicing vegetables or prepping fish, these knives are designed to be reliable, approachable workhorses — traditional tools, rich with regional soul.
