How to Choose a Whetstone

Sharpening your knives is as important as using them, but there's so many whetstones to pick from!
Here's how to buy your first.

Rough Stone

This is the roughest of the 3 types of whetstones.
The number is around 80 - 400 grit. 200 grit is standard.
The lower grit has higher abrasive ability which is suitable for fixing chips or reshaping a blade.

Vitrified

Manufacturing Method

Ceramic or vitreous materials such as soluble clay and feldspar are baked at temperatures exceeding 1000℃. The most abrasive of all whetstones, and its greatest feature is that high abrasive ability. It has many pores, and surface clogging is rare. This method is suitable for rough stones.

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.
