AFTER YOUR TRIP

Bought a Japanese knife in Japan?

A good knife should remain useful long after the trip is over. If you bought a knife in Miyajima or elsewhere in Japan, you can contact us from abroad when it needs sharpening or assessment.

FROM SOUVENIR TO DAILY TOOL

Keep using the knife, not just remembering where you bought it.

A knife bought during a trip to Japan can stay part of your kitchen for years. When it needs attention, start by telling us what you bought, where you found it and how it is performing now.

USE

Cook with it

Use the knife as a real kitchen tool and learn the maintenance it needs rather than treating it only as a travel purchase.

CARE

Maintain the edge

When performance drops, contact us with the knife details and photographs before arranging international shipping.

RETURN

Send it back to Japan when needed

Once a request is accepted, we will provide the applicable next-step instructions for the international mail-in route.

PURCHASE LOCATION

Tell us where you found your knife.

If you know the shop, hotel or location where you bought the knife, include it in your request. That context can help us understand the product while still allowing us to assess eligible Japanese knives purchased elsewhere.
