ABOUT US

feel the essence of japan

Essensu.co.uk is a brand created out of a passion for traditional craftsmanship – a passion for quality and longevity. As professionals gaining experience through years of working in the best kitchens in Poland and Europe, we know that a knife is not just a tool. It is something more.

We import our knives straight from Japan, finding them in old, forgotten condition. It is here in Poland in our workshop that we put them through days of work so that they can once again enjoy the quality and reliability of their new owners. We also offer private sushi dinners, workshops and much more.

Check it out for yourself and feel the essence of Japan!
