Blades of Steel: Japanese Knives, Museums, & Mochi in Sakai

There's no service charge for purchase.

Detail

Step into the world of high-quality, professional Japanese knives with this walking tour in Sakai City, Osaka. Sakai ranks among Japan's three prominent regions known for the craftsmanship of high-quality knives and bladed tools. While the city is most recognized for its steel-forward craftsmanship, there are plenty of other sights worthy of a visit! During this guided tour, you’ll visit a 200+ year old shop selling cinnamon mochi (a regional specialty), explore the Sakai Knife and Craft Museum, then enter the prestigious walls of the Yamawaki Knife Company for a tour, knife sharpening lesson, and a special opportunity to order a custom-made knife!

Yaogen Raikodo Cinnamon Mochi: Founded more than 200 years ago, this shop serves traditional Japanese sweets with a Sakai city twist–cinnamon mochi. These age-old glutinous rice treats flavored with cinnamon are a Sakai City original, that’ll serve as the ideal sweet treat to kick off this tour.

Sakai Knife and Craft Museum: The museum showcases an impressive collection of knives and bladed tools, ranging from traditional Japanese knives to contemporary creations. Visitors have the opportunity to explore the evolution of knife-making techniques, materials, and designs throughout the years.
