HISTORY OF 
TAIMATSU

The history of TAIMATSU Co., Ltd. began with the challenge of blending Japanese tradition and innovation. Through the Japanese knife brand “MUSASHI JAPAN,” which was born in 2020, our mission is to deliver Japanese craftsmanship to domestic and international customers, and we have continued to grow mainly based on online activities. Our unique design has been evaluated and supported by many customers.


Currently, we are expanding our sales network, which includes physical stores, and we are developing a variety of brands, such as “YOKAI JAPAN,” a Japanese sake bar with a specter theme, and “FUJI JAPAN,” which offers training experiences. Based on the experience and innovative spirit we have cultivated so far, we will continue to illuminate new stories that will continue into the future while opening up new possibilities for traditional Japanese crafts and spreading the value of Japanese culture in the global market.
