About "KOKU"
The name "KOKU" and the logo that likens a knife to the hands of a clock were born from the desire that the encounter with a knife at "KOKU" would not just be about cutting ingredients, but also mark a new history, weave memories, and start a rich and fulfilling time for the customer.
Therefore, we aim to be a store that can connect the thoughts of the "producers" who put their feelings into each knife and the "users" who use them.
Producer's Philosophy
"A knife for life
One that marks time alongside your life."
Because it's a tool you handle every day, we never compromise.
Sharpness, comfort in hand, and accompanying the user's life.
What we craft is not just the blade, but the "feelings" behind it.
KOKU's Philosophy
"We want to deliver a lifelong companion."
We want to deliver not just a knife, but a "lifelong companion" that imbues the user with their own style and pride during cooking time.
Customer Reviews
I wanted to take home something
special as a memory of my Tokyo trip,
and stumbled upon this store by chance.
I use it at home now,
and I can never go back to other knives.
I had always been interested in Japanese knives,
and after actually using one,
I was moved by its beauty and functionality.
Simple yet fits so well in the hand.
I feel like I've found a lifelong tool.
I'm usually not good at cooking,
but this knife "makes me feel like
I've gotten better at cooking" (laughs)
It's light yet has a solid core,
like a trustworthy partner.
I took it home not just as a souvenir,
but as "my tool."
