Japanese Knives
The main features of Japanese knives are that they are single-edged and use steel. Because of these features, they have a very sharp edge. With this, they can create a beautiful cut surface and the cells of food do not get damaged thereby maximizing the flavor of food.
-
Western Knives
Most Western knives are double-edged, making it easy to cut as you like when you look at things from above. Since they are mostly made of stainless-steel and are rust resistant, they are especially widely used in homes, but more professionals are starting to prefer them.
-
Set of Peelers
We have created tool sets that include tools such as kenmuki (peeling knives), nomi (chisels), kurinuki (ballers) and tazuna (a cutter that creates rope-like shapes) necessary for preparing mainly vegetables. We offer a variety of sets from 9 pieces to 28 pieces.
