I've used these at work, and they are amazing. The people cutting uncured prepreg composites seem to really like them. Well worth the price if you can keep your kids from cutting paper with them!

I'm thinking long piece of dough and you cut pieces from it like gnocchi

Woot only says that they are made by a japanese manufactory aka a Japanese manufacturer not that it's made in Japan. Def feels an intentional way to trick ppl though.

Amazon is wrong. I own a pair of these, and they are absolutely made in Japan. In fact, KAI has another set of scissors that I've posted before (from their cheaper line) that are also made in Japan, and those sell for less than $18. I assure you, these are made in Japan, and you can even see it printed on the blade of the scissors in the included pictures. Btw, one additional note on that "cross-dough" stuff... I removed it. I think it may have been a bad translation on these Japanese scissors as no other retailers mention anything about "dough."

Just checked, and the 9 inch 5230 scissors that are also made in Japan [amazon.com] (include a nice plastic protective cover as well) are selling for only $17.44 right now.

Also, here's another retailer selling these same scissors [wolffindustries.com] for $91.64. If you look at the much more detailed description under the "Origin" heading, it states "Handcrafted in Japan."

If you follow the link, click on Kai Store, then type in scissors in the search box, it shows a laundry list of the scissors they sell on Amazon. Pretty impressive selection of scissors.
Edit: One of the reviews on Amazon mentioned a study done on Project Farm comparing Kai scissors to other brands. The Kai kept their sharpness longer than any of the other brands tested. Here's the Project Farm link if interested.

Kai makes amazing scissors. They make a true left-handed dressmaking sheer that is unbelievably amazing--incredibly sharp, lightweight, precise--and jaw droppingly affordable. Plus they guarantee their product and pay for return shipping (at least on their own website) if you are not happy.
