Overview
Heartbeat of Japanese sword and cutlery craftsmanship.
Sakai was the center of samurai sword production, and that legacy lives on in professional kitchen knives used by 90% of Japan's top chefs. This small museum showcases the forging process and displays rare blades. You can often see master sharpeners at work and purchase high-quality blades directly from the source at better prices than Tokyo shops.
