Any idea on how I can speed up my mentori cuts on my potatoes in my nikujaga? Also, you should try a single-bevel nakiri. The veggies fall off the blade instead of sticking to the side. My grandma in Tokyo (92 years young) told me nearly all nakiri knives used to be single bevel in the early 1900s. They're a pleasure to use.
Something I noticed but I might be wrong, when you used the usuba (seems to be single beveled) to cut the roll, the bevel of the edge is upside down, wouldn't it be better in this case to use a knife for lefties when you're a righty?
That is a bad ass cutting board. I seem to go through cheap ones every couple of months regardless of proper care.If only I had a kitchen big enough for that.
I LOVE this huge cutting board!!! I have never seen a Hasegawa (or whatever brand board is) this deep before. Are they available? Normally they are very narrow or not very deep.
Somehow I can imagine that a seasoned carpenter could learn the katsuramuki quite instinctively, you basically form a carpenters low angle plane with the blade and your thumb, thumb controlling the width of planes throat and thickness of your shavings. I understand the principle of the method, but the daikon slices still end up looking like corrugated board 😂😂. Just need more practice. Thank you for very informative videos.🙏
Everytime someone rock chops with a Japanese knife on RUclips, a samurai in heaven sheds a tear.
Omg 😂
I rock chop with Japanese knife all the knife. Guess their tear is enough to fill an ocean now
VERY interesting! Thank you Naoto.
Thank you very much for publishing such useful videos !
Thank you!
Thank you. You competently explained several useful things quickly.
Happy to help!
I hope to get an usuba some day but thinking about getting a nakiri instead first :) thanks for the video!
I would definitely go nakiri first, it's a super versatile shape!
Thanks Naoto. Good stuff
Thank you!

Naoto cheats with a vegetable peeler sometimes... 😂 other than that, just practice!
We actually have a rad single bevel nakiri, it just didn't make it into the video. Next time!

Hey, generally for katsuramuki you keep the un-bevelled side facing up. Hope that helps!
@@KnifewearKnives oh ok! Thanks a lot for the answer.
Thank you very much Naoto. I have been experimenting with our usaba and your video was very helpful!
Happy to hear it!

Practice, practice, practice!
So you are saying japanese cucumbers are generally smaller?
Yup!
I'm quite relieved I'm not the only one whose mind went there...
