Create everlasting joy.

We spend countless hours of our time doing food prep and cooking. Rightly so, we deserve kitchenware that will make cooking tasks easier and more enjoyable.

After all, food and cooking are one of the main sources of joy in our lives. They have the power to bring people together in an unparalleled way. They are a way to learn and discover different cultures, to share traditions with other and to test one’s creativity. They are means through which eternal memories are created, traditions are passed down within families and friends, passions are discovered and love and joy excel.

Oishya has grown with the mindset that such moments deserve equally precious and timeless tools. This is why we offer kitchenware crafted with the highest quality materials, made to last and used to create joy.

Craftsmanship

We do not use ready-made components and we do not mass-produce. We personally oversee the end-to-end crafting process to ensure quality is of the highest standard.

We travel the world to develop exclusive collections of kitchenware. Country by country, we curate, select and partner with artisans who pride themselves on vigilance and respect for the craft that no machine can replicate.

We combine their individual traditions into a unique minimalist style to create distinctive quality pieces. The results speak for themselves: unique and beautiful designs of curated kitchenware with optimal functionality to inspire great cooking.​

Essential

Here at Oishya we have a minimalist heart. We believe our homes should be filled with essential, long-lasting, quality products. We are huge advocates of quality over quantity. Why should you invest in countless single-purpose appliances when you can invest in a few high-quality tools that can help you tackle almost every kitchen task?

Meet our craftsmen

Our story started with the search for the perfect Japanese knife...

Kamila, our founder, was looking for a Japanese knife to give to her partner as a Christmas gift and couldn’t find anything that was both premium quality and affordable. After searching with no luck through multiple London shops and kanji-filled websites, she decided to go directly to the source and contacted a Japanese blacksmith who made her a custom-engraved knife.

She fell in love with the knife the moment she saw it. And her partner did too. Without a doubt it was an extremely special gift, she recalls her partner showing it proudly to his friends and family when they came over for dinner parties and food gatherings. And then it happened, she saw the joy this piece created and decided it wouldn’t be fair to keep it to herself, she wanted to share it with the world. So, in early 2016, together with her high school friend Anna, she co-founded Oishya (then known as Oishya).
