Where to Buy Japanese Knives in Jakarta: Our Permata Senayan Store

Looking for where to buy Japanese knives in Jakarta? Our shop in Rukan Permata Senayan is the city's dedicated Japanese kitchen store — and the headquarters of Upscale Living. It carries our deepest selection anywhere: hand-forged knives from more than ten Japanese makers, a full wall of whetstones and sharpening gear, Banko-yaki donabe clay pots, professional cutting boards, and made-in-Japan cookware — everything on display, everything you can pick up and feel before you buy.

Why buy a Japanese knife in person

Specs don't tell you how a knife balances in your grip, how tall the blade feels under your knuckles, or whether a wa octagonal handle suits you better than a Western one. Ten seconds of holding the knife answers all of it. That's why everything in the Senayan store is out on display, not behind glass — and why our team starts with questions about what you cook, not with the most expensive thing in the case.

Because this store doubles as our HQ, if it's in the Upscale Living catalog, chances are you can see it here: first knives from Tojiro, Fuji Cutlery, and Shimomura; professional standards from Masamoto and Sakai Takayuki; hand-forged art from Nigara and Kanetsune Seki; Suehiro water stones and Atoma diamond plates; Hasegawa boards used in serious kitchens; GINPO donabe and rice cookers; Benriner mandolines; and Yoshikawa cookware.

Easy to reach from Senayan, SCBD, and South Jakarta

The store sits in Rukan Permata Senayan — minutes from Senayan, Sudirman, SCBD, and Kebayoran Baru, making it an easy lunch-break or weekend stop for anyone working or living in South Jakarta. If you're coming for something specific, message us on WhatsApp first and we'll have it ready at the counter when you arrive.

What our Jakarta team helps with every day

• Choosing a first serious knife. Tell us what you cook and your budget — we'll put honest options side by side, usually starting well under the price you feared.
• Stepping up to carbon steel. If you're ready for Aogami or Shirogami, we'll show you the care routine before you commit, so there are no surprises.
• Building a sharpening kit. From a single do-everything stone to a full progression — and honest advice about which you actually need.
• Corporate and personal gifts. A Japanese knife is a gift people keep for decades. We help companies and individuals choose well, at every budget.
• Kitchen upgrades beyond knives. Donabe rice that ruins rice cookers for you, cutting boards that keep your edges sharp, tools you didn't know existed.
