"A Japanese double-sided sharpening stone with a medium grit for sharpening on one side and a fine grit for finishing on the other. It lowers the barrier to routine maintenance and will be a great gift for the cook who likes picking up new projects, or who’s good about setting aside time every month to oil their cutting boards, season their cast iron, and so on." - Bettina Makalintal

"This Japanese shop equips restaurants like Nobu and Per Se, meaning it's where pro-chefs go to buy their knives. They're artfully displayed on the wall and in cases throughout the space according to brand and style (they carry traditional Japanese as well as Westernized brands). In addition, we like to shop their selection of lacquered bento boxes and traditional serveware."
