Overview of Kai Corporation's 2025 Hit Products

Kai Corporation, a global knife maker headquartered in Tokyo, has revealed impressive sales figures for its kitchen tools in 2025. Notably, the Sekisaburo All Stainless Steel Peeler achieved a remarkable increase in sales, recording 241.7% growth compared to the previous year. In addition to the peeler, six other products also contributed to notable sales increases.

Sekisaburo All Stainless Steel Peeler

This peeler became exceptionally popular, achieving one of the highest sales figures among Kai’s peeler products, second only to the SELECT100 T-Type Peeler. The impressive growth of 241.7% is based on domestic shipping data gathered from July 2024 to November 2025.

The peeler's success can be attributed to its superb cutting performance, as confirmed by home use test surveys conducted among individuals aged 20 to 60. Customers praised its sharpness, noting comments such as, "The cutting performance is outstanding, and carrots became beautifully smooth!" and "It allows for very thin peeling without any effort." The peeler's blade position is uniquely set at an angle of 20 degrees, making it highly efficient for various ingredients such as carrots, radish, fruits like apples and kiwis, and even niche items like lotus root.

Sabimek (Rust Eraser)

Another star product is the Sabimek, achieving a sales increase of 192%. Originally classified in the knife maintenance category, product placement was shifted to the hygiene supplies section, resulting in a surge in sales. This transition allowed broader visibility to customers who were looking for everyday kitchen cleaning supplies and contributed to an expanded sales reach beyond the traditional target audience.

Steaming Pots and Silicone Doughnut Molds

Kai's versatility is showcased in additional popular items such as the stainless steel steaming pots which reported growth rates of 125.6% and 156.8% for different models. The increasing trend of home steaming, especially in light of the recent Cookpad Food Trend Award recognizing the 'One Plate Steaming', has contributed to the rising demand for these products.

The KHS Silicone Doughnut Molds also saw impressive sales growth of 188.9% and 144% respectively. This increase coincided with the recent rise in the popularity of raw doughnuts, driven by social media and cooking videos, led to a surge in home baking.

Silicone Storage Bags

Newly launched in January 2025, the Silicone Storage Bag (1000ml) quickly became a consumer favorite, reporting a staggering sales increase of 262% compared to its smaller counterparts. The versatile temperature resistance enables its use in a microwave, oven, and refrigerator for various cooking needs from meal preparation to storage.

With an emphasis on time-saving and ease of use, the silicone bag has received positive feedback for its practicality. Users appreciate the ease of cleaning due to its broad opening and lack of grooves, making it suitable for storing liquids like curries. This aligns with the growing consumer trend toward convenient kitchen tools following the recognition of the "Cooking Without Mess" phenomenon in 2025.
