Our Craftsmanship
Japanese Craftsmanship
Craftsmen pour indefatigable passion into SAROME.
Sarome lighters are not mass produced by machine, they are nearly handcrafted and assembled by hand for quality and longevity. Being a Japanese manufacturer for smoking article, Sarome continues this tradition in manufacturing cigarette lighters since its establishment at the early Showa Era (1940).
We will be happy if you can understand even a fraction of our passion and persistence to the lighters through the introduction of the scenes of the company at the time of establishment, photos of the founder, and production process of SAROME lighters.
