One of the world's best-known sushi chefs, Takayoshi Watanabe, the third-generation owner of Teruzushi, has created a kitchen knife that every chef will want to hold.

Established in 1964 in Tobata, Kitakyushu City, Teruzushi has become a global symbol of authentic Japanese sushi culture. Serving the finest natural seafood from the seas around Kitakyushu in a theatrical, performance-style setting, the restaurant attracts sushi lovers from around the world.

With over one million social-media followers and more than 200 million views on TikTok, Teruzushi now operates five restaurants across Japan and abroad, hosting pop-up experiences that bring its artistry to global audiences.

Each Teruzushi Knife is handmade by the artisans of Sakai Uchihamono, a 600-year-old cutlery tradition from Sakai, Osaka. Crafted through the precise division of labor between blacksmiths and sharpening masters, these knives embody centuries of technique and passion.

The blade is forged from Böhler-Uddeholm special alloy steel, renowned for its sharpness, rust resistance, and durability. The handle, made of POM resin, ensures strength and practicality, allowing safe use in dishwashers and dryers.

Designed for versatility, from sushi and Japanese cuisine to Western, Chinese, and even confectionery, the Teruzushi Knife represents the perfect fusion of form, function, and craftsmanship.
