Features
With natural whetstones becoming scarce, after 5 years of trial and error, Morihei's 4th generation president, Mr. Oguro of Asakusabashi, Tokyo, has finally completed an original synthetic whetstone with stable quality by blending high-quality natural stones and firing at low temperatures.
Unlike general synthetic whetstones, there is no need to soak it in water for a long time before sharpening; you can start sharpening immediately by simply splashing a handful of water onto it.
The sharpening feel is close to that of a natural whetstone, it bites well into stainless steel and steel, and the sharpening scratches are shallow.
The slurry that forms during sharpening contains abrasive particles, so by sharpening with the slurry, you can efficiently finish the blade edge.
After sharpening, wash off the slurry from the surface of the whetstone and store it nearby, wrapped in a dry cloth, rather than putting it away.
Enjoy delicious food with a sharp knife.
