Over the last few years, we have been able to avoid any major price increases.  

Unfortunately, due to current factors such as increasing raw material costs, rising fuel and shipping costs as well as an unfavorable exchange rate, we must also raise the price of our products.   This increase will take place in the near future as we make our updates.  We hope you understand and we will continue to do our best to offer high quality products at competitive pricing.

Thank you for your continued business.

Sincerely,

Saori Kawano

President

Take a look at Korin's amazing selection of new items. From stylish new tableware, glassware and kitchenware to functional items such as our large selection of 'binchotan' charcoal, we offer exciting new items for your restaurant or home kitchen and table. Many of these items are only available at Korin!

After 7 years of collaboration between Suisin and Korin, Suisin at long last releases the Suisin Special Inox line!

The Suisin Special Inox series was created to have all the features that professional chefs need in a knife. They are high performance and easy to maintain and re-sharpen.

The special-grade AUS10 steel used in making these blades has a much higher carbon content than other stainless steel but also contains added stain and rust-resisting elements, making this knife cut and feel like a carbon steel knife. Each blade is hand-finished on a natural stone before leaving the factory.

The beautiful appearance of the Damascus style Japanese knives created by folding the steel blade over and over on itself in forging is also available in Western style knives.

These Togiharu Hammered Texture Damascus knives have that great combination of the double-edged familiarity many chefs and cooks are used to in a Western-style knife and the aesthetic and construction (many see as the best in the world) characteristics of Japanese knives.

With the trusted name of Togiharu to back them, these are great, unique, beautiful knives available in four different popular styles.

Founded in 1872 by Minosuke Matsuzawa, the Masamoto brand has become synonymous with high-quality, hand-crafted, precision one of a kind Japanese knives. With great quality, may come a hefty price tag.

And so it is with great pleasure that we are now able to offer a wide array of popular Masamoto knives, up to 25% off their regular price, making these the best prices you'll find anywhere on some of the world's best knives.

Whether you're an experienced chef with a vast knife collection, a home cook looking to own your first great quality Japanese knife or anyone in between, we're confident anyone who purchases these knives will be thrilled with their investment.
