7 Best Japanese Knives 2021 – Top Japanese Kitchen Knife Reviews
Japanese knives
are coveted for their beautiful and detailed design, as well as the cuts they produce.
Their blades
are typically thin and delicate, and prone to breaking if you don’t take care of them properly — not ideal for the clumsy chef.
They allow for thin, precise cuts and beautiful presentation; the ones you’d find in a five-star sushi restaurant.
Vincent Lau,
the sole knife sharpener at Korin,
a Japanese knife store in lowerManhattan,
says the reason Japanese knives have become so popular around the world
is for the very reason they’re integral in Japanese cuisine: To enhance and preserve the ingredients, and accentuate the flavor of the dish.
