Hello, everyone! We have some important info for our online shop community in the US:

Starting August 29, 2025, the US government will be suspending their duty-free exemption. This means that all commercial packages from Japan, including ours, will now be subject to customs duties.
Here are the key points of how this will affect shoppers at our online shop:

⚫️Delivery will take longer.
US customs is applying stricter checks, so delivery times may be longer than before.

⚫️You will have to pay higher fees at customs.
All packages will now be subject to import fees upon delivery, even those with a value of under US$100. These import fees may be either a flat fee of US$80 or more per item (special duty rate), OR 15%+ of the product’s value.

⚫️This applies to all packages.
Unlike before, even lower-value orders will face customs fees.

⚫️What happens if you have already made an order?
Your package will still arrive, but please expect possible delays and additional charges. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience.

⚫️What if you don’t want to pay these fees?
Unfortunately, customs fees are mandatory and outside our control. If you decide not to accept the package, it will be returned to us. Please contact us so we can work on the best solution together.

We know this change can make things feel a bit uncertain when you're ordering from overseas, including Japan.
Thanks so much for your patience and understanding while we sort things out! We’ll keep you in the loop as we learn more about how things actually play out.

Hello everyone, are you ready for some more serious craftsmanship? Our latest blacksmithing video is now live! 🎉

We will take you inside Aoki Hamono, a renowned smithy creating TAKAYUKI knives in Sakai—the legendary heart of Japanese knife-making. We had the privilege of getting a close-up look at their workshop and their blacksmithing process.


Watch as a team of passionate young craftsmen transform raw steel into a polished blade—step by step, from start to finish.


What stood out most wasn’t just their skill, but their teamwork and camaraderie. Each craftsman brought their own strengths and unique style, coming together to create knives of the highest quality.



Here's the link to the video: https://youtu.be/K4CoLegjf4o

Let us know your thoughts in the comments—we can’t wait to hear from you!

And together with the new video, we have started selling Aoki Hamono TAKAYUKI stainless steel knives at our online shop as well—so make sure to check them out!

Hello everyone, hope you are hungry! We have just posted a new video! 🎉
Today’s video takes us inside a Japanese high school.

This is Matsuyama Gakuin High School in Ehime Prefecture—
a school with a unique culinary program where students can actually graduate with a chef’s license.

Here, future chefs are sharpening their skills. But earning that license isn’t easy.
In this video, we’ll follow the students as they step up to those challenges,
and the teacher who guides them with both tough discipline and heartfelt passion.

Here's the link to the video: https://youtu.be/frZfOTdSRLQ

Hope you'll enjoy it and let us know how you liked it in the comments!

Also: we still have Japanese knives and other crafts on SUMMER SALE at our shop, so make sure to check it out : shop.japanese-food-craftsman.com/

Hello! It is the holiday Obon season in Japan so things are moving a little slower than normal.
We want to welcome all the new subscribers and encourage you to check out some of our more popular videos.
In that spirit we have put together a compilation of our prison videos on prison food in Japan that was very popular.

You’ll see inmates starting work early in the morning, the many activities they do on the path to rehabilitation,
and the kitchen preparing huge quantities of food! Something you rarely get to see.

This time, enjoy all three parts at once: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner!

Watch the videos here!!

Hello everyone, are you in the mood for some crafting? We have just uploaded a new knife-making video! 🎉🔪

This time we visited Shigemitsu Hamono, a smithy which boasts over 100 years of history located in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan!

Shigemitsu Hamono is run by father-son duo Hiroyuki Inoue and Yuki Inoue. Hiroyuki has dedicated 40 years to mastering the craft he learned from his own father as he continues to pass down the tradition to his son.

In this video, Inoue-san shows us how he painstakingly handcrafts each and every blade every step of the way, from raw material to finished product! Tune in to learn about how he learned the craft, the crafting process itself, as well as some of the difficulties and joys of the craft!

The family once nearly lost everything when their workshop was destroyed in a mudslide after the eruption of Mt. Unzen. Refusing to let this stop them, they soon rebuilt the forge and continued to carry on the tradition!

Here's the link to the video: https://youtu.be/iDDTozg1ZXQ

And together with the new video, you can now buy handcrafted Shigemitsu Hamono knives at our online shop here!

100年以上にわたり刃物を作り続けてきた、長崎県の重光刃物に密着しました！

先代から受け継がれた技術は親子二代で継承され、地域に根ざした鍛造技術と温もりある手仕事で様々な包丁が丁寧に仕上げられています。

土石流で、工房も住まいもすべてを失うという未曾有の被害に見舞われました。
それでも諦めず、自らの手で工房を再建し、今日まで包丁づくりを続けてこられました。

ものづくりへの情熱と鍛冶屋としてのこだわりが詰まった一日を、ぜひご覧ください！

Hello everyone, hope you are hungry! We have just posted a new video! 🎉

This time we paid a visit to HAMBURG & STEAK AMACRO, a restaurant specializing in Japanese hamburg steak and other steaks in the Nishijin neighborhood of Fukuoka, Japan!

Run by self-proclaimed "Rice Gyaru" Shiho and her family, this restaurant uses only Amakusa Black Beef in their steaks. Amakusa Black Beef is a premium brand of Wagyu beef raised in the Amakusa region of Kyushu, Japan. Only some 400 beef cows are raised each year, so it can be quite the mission to get your hands on some of this delicious beef!

Check out the video to learn how they got started, and enjoy the inviting gyaru passion of manager Shiho, the infectious humor of part-time staff member Kazu, and the dedication of Shiho's brother and husband as the fabulous four show us how they run their shop!
