About Chef Ryodo Kajiwara

Ryodo Kajiwara is a Michelin-starred Japanese chef renowned for his refined approach to gastronomy and his philosophy of strength in serenity.
Born and trained in Japan, he perfected his craft in prestigious kitchens before founding Restaurant RYODO in Luxembourg, where his precise, minimalist, and deeply respectful cooking earned a Michelin star.

For Chef Ryodo, a knife is more than a tool, it is an extension of the cook’s hand and mind.
His belief is simple:
“A knife reflects the heart of the chef.”

This philosophy guides every step of the RYODO knife collection.
Each blade is designed under his direct supervision, balancing sharpness, harmony, and emotional connection. The knives are crafted in collaboration with Takeuchi Hamono, Japanese master artisans whose expertise spans generations.

Used daily in his Michelin-star restaurant, RYODO knives embody the elegance, finesse, and quiet power that define Chef Ryodo’s culinary world.
They are created not only to cut but to inspire.
