With a desire to make high-quality Japanese products more accessible to everyone, we launched “Craft Takumi” in Christchurch in 2024.
The term “Takumi” in Japanese refers to a skilled artisan or craftsman. While New Zealand also has many skilled individuals, we primarily focus on introducing products created by Japanese professionals whose techniques, traditions, and passion ensure exceptional quality. We hope to help people in New Zealand feel closer to authentic Japanese products.
Our Japanese owner, knowledgeable in traditional Japanese craftsmanship, personally selects and imports goods directly from Japan, including authentic Japanese kitchen knives in NZ, ensuring you can shop with confidence.
Although we are a very small group of Japanese and Kiwi, we are passionate about introducing Japanese-quality products to people in New Zealand. By directly importing products from Japan, we are able to offer them at affordable prices.
CRAFT TAKUMI is an online-only store and does not have a physical retail location.
All orders are shipped from Christchurch New Zealand.
