| JAPANESE KNIFE |
|
| In Japanese language, knife is called as
Hocho or Hamono, and there are various shapes
and lengths and thickness for what you would
like to cut. For instance, to cut soba noodle,
it has to be Soba-Bocho (Soba-Hocho). Your
thought might reach to Tsukiji Fish Market,
but Kappabashi Dougugai (Kappabashi Tool
Street) in Asakusa has following knife shops
to choose from. If you would like to deal
direct with Hocho Maker (Producer), Fujitora Industory has Tojiro (well-known
brand) . Ceramics? Kyocera founded in Kyoto is highly recommended for
(fragile but) life-long knife. |
