All knives in the Korin collection are 15% off! The sale runs from June 26th, 2008 to July 31st, 2008. If you haven't purchased a Japanese knife before, this is the perfect opportunity to try the "unforgettable sharpness" that chefs of all cuisines are talking about.

Showroom Clearance Sale: Overstocked and sample tableware, kitchenware and decoration items discounted up to 50% while supplies last. This promotion is good for items purchased in the Korin showroom only.

Over the last few years, we have been able to avoid any major price increases.  Unfortunately, due to current factors such as increasing raw material costs, rising fuel and shipping costs as well as an unfavorable exchange rate, we must also raise the price of our products.   This increase will take place in the near future as we make our updates.   We hope you understand and we will continue to do our best to offer high quality products at competitive pricing.

Thank you for your continued business.

Sincerely,

Saori Kawano

President

Take a look at Korin's amazing selection of new items. From stylish new tableware, glassware and kitchenware to functional items such as our large selection of 'binchotan' charcoal, we offer exciting new items for your restaurant or home kitchen and table. Many of these items are only available at Korin!

After 7 years of collaboration between Suisin and Korin, Suisin at long last releases the Suisin Special Inox line!

The Suisin Special Inox series was created to have all the features that professional chefs need in a knife. They are high performance and easy to maintain and re-sharpen.

The special-grade AUS10 steel used in making these blades has a much higher carbon content than other stainless steel but also contains added stain and rust-resisting elements, making this knife cut and feel like a carbon steel knife. Each blade is hand-finished on a natural stone before leaving the factory.

The beautiful appearance of the Damascus style Japanese knives created by folding the steel blade over and over on itself in forging is also available in Western style knives.

These Togiharu Hammered Texture Damascus knives have that great combination of the double-edged familiarity many chefs and cooks are used to in a Western-style knife and the aesthetic and construction (many see as the best in the world) characteristics of Japanese knives.

With the trusted name of Togiharu to back them, these are great, unique, beautiful knives available in four different popular styles.

And so it is with great pleasure that we are now able to offer a wide array of popular Masamoto knives, up to 25% off their regular price, making these the best prices you'll find anywhere on some of the world's best knives.

Whether you're an experienced chef with a vast knife collection, a home cook looking to own your first great quality Japanese knife or anyone in between, we're confident anyone who purchases these knives will be thrilled with their investment.

Our informative and beautifully designed knife catalog got a new look with the largest selection of knife lines on the market.

Please call 1-800-626-2172 or 212-587-7021 or email custserv@korin.com. to request the catalog. Also available at our Manhattan showroom.

Marking the anniversary of 25 years in business, the Korin Showroom in downtown Manhattan has gotten a facelift!  We would like to thank you for your patience during the short showroom closure in June.  Korin is once again open for business and we invite everyone to come and see the improvements made to Korin's TriBeCa space.  Renovations began on June 19th and will continue throughout the summer, with many new features designed to make your visit to Korin inspiring and fun.

Korin's founder and President Saori Kawano chose the wide-plank walnut hardwood flooring to evoke the calming and powerful atmosphere inside many ancient Japanese shrines. 

Korin employed a talented Japanese architect for the new space, who installed substantial floor-to-ceiling beams of beautiful unfinished blonde wood for the display shelving, reminiscent of traditional Japanese cutting boards and sushi bar counters.  In the works is a new knife sharpening station for Knife Master Chiharu Sugai to continue his educational lessons and demonstrations for a larger audience than before. 

We hope to create an environment in the Korin showroom that sparks your creativity and empowers you to find the right tools for each job.  We invite you to stop in at our newly refurbished showroom on Monday through Saturday from 10:00am to 6:00pm and be inspired!  Showroom is closed on Sundays and national holidays.
