A knife that cuts well is certainly a good knife. However, there's more to it than just functionality. The way it feels in your hand, its color, weight, shape, design, and even memories or love attached to it - all of these factors contribute to the overall experience of using a kitchen knife.
When you buy a kitchen knife, it's not just a one-time purchase; it's a tool you'll use every day for 10 to 30 years. A good knife not only cuts food but also enhances your cooking, allowing you to infuse each dish with heart, care, and love, resulting in more delicious meals. Conversely, food prepared reluctantly often lacks flavor. Finding joy and pleasure in cooking can make the experience much more enjoyable.
We launched KIREAJI in hopes of enriching the lives of many people around the world by introducing them to the world of traditional Japanese kitchen knives.
