Serie Zen
Nuestro Zen utiliza un tsuchime (martillado) en la hoja, que recuerda a las gotas de agua golpeando la superficie de un río. Con ello se pretende crear una viva imagen de relajación e inculcar la idea de cocinar a tu ritmo de forma relajada.
El Zen se ha creado con un filo de hoja muy cuidado. Con una empuñadura de madera contrachapada de estilo occidental y un equilibrio con el que muchos clientes de ultramar están familiarizados, Zen como su nombre indica, cortan suavemente los ingredientes casi como el agua que fluye en una hendidura. Un filo secundario de alta calidad pero delicado que no necesita afilarse con frecuencia, combinado con una hoja duradera en forma de almeja, permite obtener un cuchillo que le servirá durante muchos años.
Recomendamos encarecidamente este cuchillo en Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhideun fabricante de cuchillos que lleva más de 70 años apoyando a Osaka desde Doguyasuji.
Gyuto
Gyuto, literally means "Beef knife" . The Japanese did not consume beef until it began to modernise with increased Western influence in the late 1800's. During that period, when Japanese thought of Western food, they thought of giant slabs of beef being cut and grilled or stewed, thus the "Gyuto" was born.In modern times it is the most common knife in Japanese households, with also the most variety of steel,blade lengths and handle materials available.
Professionals often use in the 240mm-270mm size range. For home use, the most popular size is 180mm-210mm.
VG-10
Adding cobalt to VG-1 stainless steel increases wear and tear resistance and durability. VG-10 knives are also easy to process, making them great all-rounders.
Stainless Steel
VG-10 is one of the most popular stainless steels used in kitchen knives today and is made from carefully selected and high-purity raw materials with good machinability. VG-10 is both hard and tough, while staying easy to resharpen.This combination of factors gives the highly efficient VG-10 a strong advantage over other steels in its field.

A knife store that has supported the history of knives and food culture in Japan.
It has been 600 years since the birth of swordmaking in the Sakai region of Japan. Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide's and it's craftsmen continue to build on that legacy by producing the finest blades in Japan.
This is where the culture of completing a dish of sashimi by "just cutting" and the culture of expressing sharpness as "taste" was born.
For 70 years, we have been connecting the spirit of Sakai's craftsmen with the passion of chefs in Osaka's kitchen equipment shopping district, known as the kitchen of Japan.
We are very happy that our knives can be used by people all over the world.
