More Details
Tsubamesanjo
Located in Niigata Prefecture, Tsubamesanjo is one of Japan’s foremost centers of metal craftsmanship. The tradition began in the early Edo period, when local farmers began forging nails, forming a community of skilled metalworkers. Renowned for producing durable, finely crafted kitchenware and blades, the region now excels in stainless-steel kitchen tools, hand-hammered copperware, and finely sharpened knives. Each piece reflects generations of craftsmanship, admired for its enduring quality and precision.

Yes. You may add a personalized gift message of up to 250 characters at checkout — it is printed on a card and included inside the package. Prices and order details are never shown on the card or anywhere in the shipment, so the recipient sees only your message and the gift itself.
Will my order be wrapped as a gift?
Yes. Every JOC Goods order is wrapped in a traditional Japanese furoshiki cloth before shipping at no extra charge — both gifts and personal orders. If your order includes many or large items, the furoshiki may be packed inside the box rather than wrapped around them. Prices are never included in any shipment.
