Customer review
When I started working at this new restaurant, I was fortunate to receive one of these knives from the head chef. Aritsugu knives are very popular and I found that they are easy to use and cut very well. Obviously good for cutting fish used in traditional Japanese food, cutting meat, fruit, bread, bell peppers and vegetables, I'm able to maintain the full flavor of the ingredients with a beautiful presentation. I'm so grateful that I received such a high quality knife from the head chef. From the head chef's encouragement, I will do my best! (From Spain)
