Syosaku Got Featured In Aubreys Kitchen

I got my first Japanese gyuto knife from Syosaku a few months ago. It instantly raised the bar for every knife I’ve ever used. I am so impressed with the quality, so I decided to get another one. Honestly, I thought I’d keep them as part of a collection, but I find myself reaching for them every time I cook. They're a beautiful addition to my kitchen making kitchen tasks easier. Look I even did a mini photoshoot with my two knives. That's how I like them so much!!!

I found this Japanese shop online and from my very first encounter with the Syosaku Gyuto, I knew it was special. The product came perfectly packed in bubble wrap. My first test? Slicing an orange. Simple, right.. But this knife slid through it like it was air, leaving perfect edges, no tearing nothing but perfection.. Whether you’re cutting up fruit or cooking an elaborate dinner, this knife makes it a pleasure. Believe me, it’s worth all the money.

A buddy of mine collects handmade kitchen knives, so when I told him I was looking for a solid upgrade, he pointed me straight to Syosaku. The package arrived, and the first thing I noticed (aside from the satisfying bubble wrap pop LOL 😂) was how polished this gyuto chef knife looked. It felt amazing to hold.. light but strong.. like it was built for serious work. I put it to the test right away with a whole chicken, AND MAAN, it sliced through like I was cutting a soft fruit.

It's 3 weeks in now, but the edge is still scary sharp.
Now, I get why people obsess over Japanese gyuto knives. This thing is built to last!!

If you love cooking at home like I do, you'll know that your knife is most important tool in the kitchen. I've owned a number of different knives throughout the years. Different brands, different sizes, and some for different purposes. But no matter how many knives you own, we all have that go-to knife that we immediately pick up to make food in the kitchen. It's the knife that we always reach for that's easy to use and delivers fantastic results..

My go-to knife is the Syosaku Guyto 7-inch chef's knife. It's incredibly well-balanced. I just love how easy it is to handle. The design of the grip makes it very comfortable to use no matter how much dicing, slicing, or chopping I need to do. Although the knife feels light in my hand, it's incredible sturdy when cutting through food. The blade cuts straight, which is more than I can say for other knives I've used before. No matter whether it's a quick rough chop of vegetables or if i need something more precise, this knife makes the work feel effortless. with precision.

In addition to the performance of my knives, they have to be practical to maintain. And if you're like me, and use your go-to knife every day, it has to be easy to clean and doesn't need to be sharpened all the time. This is that knife. Not only does it get the job done, but very minimal effort in maintaining the integrity and quality of the blade. That's super important to anyone who prepares food frequently.

I would recommend this knife to anyone. Whether you're a serious home cook or more novice, this knife will make the work so much easier. This knife is easy to handle, easy to maintain, and delivers amazing results in the kitchen. Not to mention, the style of the blade just looks cool. The craftsmanship on this knife is top level.

I can't emphasize enough how great this knife would be in anyone's kitchen.

Get one today. You'll thank me later.

Okay, so I did some digging before buying this. YES, it’s actually made in Japan (not some knockoff). YES, it’s super sharp right out of the box. NO, it’s not one of those $300 handmade knives, but unless you're a sushi chef, do you really need that? This is a solid, well-balanced Japanese kitchen knife that holds its edge way longer than anything else I’ve used. No regrets.
