## Are you having trouble deciding which household knife to choose?
Recently, more and more people are searching for knives for themselves or as gifts in the tourist destination of Asakusa, but it turns out that these popular knives can also be purchased online.

#### What are the popular household knives in Asakusa?
We would like to introduce three household knives that are best-selling at our Asakusa store and are especially recommended for mail order.

1. Santoku knife, Yo / Takumi
Recommended for those who want a cool looking knife with a silhouette similar to that of a Japanese sword.
This is an excellent product that will satisfy you with both its appearance and sharpness.
The long blade and sharp tip are ideal for cutting meat and fish. This professional knife is also suitable for preparing meals for special occasions.
The 10- sided handle fits comfortably in your hand. The black color is also nice.

2. Santoku knife, hammered forged Damascus
Appearance is important, but this is recommended for cooking enthusiasts who also value practicality.
This popular knife has a beautiful appearance with a hammered pattern and Damascus pattern. It is a slightly heavy knife, and is especially recommended for men who love cooking!
The core material is VG10 , so the blade stays sharp for a long time.
It is made of VG10 stainless steel, which is resistant to rust, so it can be used safely even by those who find maintenance to be a hassle.

3. Gyuto knife, black hammered, molybdenum, burnt lacquer handle
Recommended for cooking enthusiasts who are not satisfied with their Santoku knives.
This chef's knife has a cool look and a Japanese-style handle that makes it easy to use.
Gyuto knives usually have handles that are fastened with screws, which has the disadvantage that if the handle becomes damaged it cannot be replaced. However, this Gyuto knife has a Japanese-style handle, which means that if it becomes damaged it can be easily replaced, allowing you to continue using it for a long time.
The molybdenum core material is a steel that is easy to maintain, so by resharpening it you can continue to use it for a long time.

### Reasons for choosing it for home use
・Even for home use, sharpness is important. This is why we choose products with a sharp cutting edge.
・Few people use multiple knives at home, so the Santoku knife, which can do anything with just one knife, is popular.
・Many people find maintenance to be a hassle, so stainless steel knives are popular among them.
・The peace of mind of knowing you will receive the same products as in the Asakusa store

## About online purchases
Q: Can I buy the same product online?
A. Of course, you can purchase the same products in store or online.

Q: I'm worried about maintenance.
A. After use, wash with a neutral detergent and wipe off any moisture.
If the knife loses its sharpness, please have it resharpened. We can also provide resharpening services.

We offer the same high-quality knives as those in our Asakusa store that will make your everyday cooking more enjoyable, and we also ship them nationwide via mail order, so please come and try them out for yourself.
