Yoshikawa, Tsubame-Sanjō metalwork since 1946
Tsubame-Sanjō, in Niigata Prefecture, is Japan's major center for metalwork. It was there in 1946 that Yoshikawa Kinzoku, a metal trading company, began making spoons and forks from scraps from a local stainless steel mill.
Now based in Yahiko, Yoshikawa designs its utensils and has them made by workshops in Tsubame-Sanjō. They are simple, robust objects designed to last a long time.
