I can only say yes to those I purchased from dealers in Japan, that gives me a 100% certainty. You can find them on my site. I purchased these from a dealer here in the United States, the blades are beautiful and appears to be made of tamagahmi. They appear to have been made in the 80's when Japan once again allowed them to be made. That is the extent of my knowledge on these. Hope that helps.
Are your 800 dollar katanas Nihontos made in japan?
