MUSASHI JAPAN Opens Flagship Store in Shibuya Center-gai as an Experiential Hub

TAIMATSU Inc., the company behind the Japanese kitchen knife brand "MUSASHI JAPAN," officially opened its "MUSASHI JAPAN Shibuya Center-gai Store" in Tokyo's Shibuya district on Thursday, April 30, 2026.

The store first opened in a soft launch on October 1, 2025. After refining the space through daily operations, the interior has now reached its intended final form for the grand opening.

A Substantial and Warm Space Design Where Textures Harmonize

The most significant change in the interior redesign is the evolution toward a modern design based on metal and stone. By fusing the warmth of wood with heavy materials, the store has achieved a space with unprecedented depth and presence. The harmonious interaction of these textures creates an entirely new world for the store.

Furthermore, the layout has been restructured to create more room, allowing customers to take their time in selecting the perfect knife for their needs within a spacious environment. This space goes beyond simple retail, elevating the experiential value of engaging with the charm of traditional Japanese knives.

This store serves as a new hub for brand expression. Centered on Japanese kitchen knives, it modernizes traditional Japanese techniques and aesthetic sensibilities while expanding into the realm of fashion. Going forward, the company aims to use this store as a base to extend its brand worldview and create a new culture.
