About Masamoto Sohonten 正本 総本店

Masamoto Sohonten is a legendary brand with over 150 years of history. The name is perhaps one of the most well known and well-respected knives brands in Japan, with a well-deserved status as No.1 sushi knife maker. Born in 1845, the first generation Masamoto - Minosuke Matsuzawa - went to Osaka as an apprentice at a young age of 17. Four years later he returned to his home town in Kanto and began making honyaki chef knives. After 5 generations tirelessly pursuing the art of knife craftsmanship, Masamoto has earned its status as the premier brand for professional Japanese Kitchen knives. The Masamoto flagship store (sohonten) that opened in Tokyo in the year 1890, is still welcoming visitors at the same spot after 130 years.

Care:

Shirogami #2 (white #2) steel is one of the most popular types of high carbon steel found in Japanese kitchen knives (Wa Knives). It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use. Patina will develop over time. Rust may develop if left in prolonged contact with water or acidic food. Use a rust eraser to clean if rusts develop. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives. This knife has a 70/30 ground double bevel edge. You should sharpen at the same angle for both sides, but follow the same grind ratio of 70/30.

Perfect Pillow
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
This is the best pillow I’ve ever had! Supportive yet soft. Never goes flat. I’m a side sleeper and I have neck and shoulder pain and this pillow keeps my head and neck in alignment. I’m buying a set for our camper and our 2nd home so I can sleep comfortably wherever I go. Price point is spot on for the quality of pillow.

So comfy
Size: King (Pack of 1), Style: Standard Loft (4" - 5")
I spent time looking up/watching videos on pillows for neck pain and this one comes up a lot. I’m someone that used to wake up every few weeks with a stiff neck so bad it could make me cry at work. I haven’t had that happen once after months of using this pillow. I look forward to laying my head down on it every night. It’s a luxury experience every time. I think what it does so well is maintain its shape. You can really squish it up how you want and it stays there even after hours. Moldable but somehow still firm. It’s expensive but to me the value is there because I no longer get crazy neck pain from sleep. Worth trying it out for sure. Btw I was stuck between this is and Purple brands couple top end options. I never got around to trying them because I tried this one first and was very satisfied! Feb 2026. Still use it every night and it's still protecting me from neck pain I used to get from sleeping. It's held up amazing. Hope to use it for many more years.

Saatva Pillow is great
Size: Standard/Queen (Pack of 1), Style: Standard Loft (4" - 5")
So far this is the best pillow I have had in the last 10 years and I have tried two Purple pillows a couple different memory foam and Gel pillows at least 4 more pillows that I can't even remember the names of. My neck and shoulders are almost pain free. I have also been doing more stretching of my arms which is also helping, but this pillow has really made the most difference in the pain I have had, I felt difference from the first time I put my head on it. It's comfortable, the perfect height I got the 4"-5", I also got the queen size and it's great. It supports my head just right. I also ordered the Saatva Classic 14" mattress from the company and I sure hope it's as good or better would be great because I have back issues for the last 50 years.

Cotton Fluff Around a Mostly Empty Bag
Size: King (Pack of 1), Style: High Loft (6"-7")
Bought the high-loft king, thinking it would be a great (tall) side-sleeper. What I got? A very nice, completely compressible cotton outer shell wrapped around a bag a bit smaller than a standard pillow. In that bag? A tiny amount of small latex chunks, just about a third full. That’s right, some cotton fluff around a basically empty bag. Could you buy some latex yourself and add it? No, the bag is sewn shut. You could probably fill a small pillow with latex you bought elsewhere and put that in. But seriously, what did you pay Saatva for in that case? Probably as close as I’ve seen a major/high-reputation company get towards a literal example of rip off.
