Reviews
"The authors...invite you to contemplate the knife as ravishing artifact--and instrument for producing edible ravishing artifacts." -- The Los Angeles Times "Inspirational. Tokyo chef Hiromitsu Nozaki's Japanese Kitchen Knives exquisitely illustrates techniques like cutting a daikon radish paper-thin and yards long." -- Food & Wine "...a love story to sharpened steel." -- The Denver Post "Chef Nozaki describes in detail what each knife is used for, how to use it properly and then provides recipes as examples. The recipes are very easy for home cooks and use ingredients found in most supermarkets. And the photographs are incredible." --TheReluctantGourmet.com

Synopsis
Internationally renowned chef Hiromitsu Nozaki shares his expertise and insights in a book that will help anyone who owns a Japanese knife to maximize its performance. He teaches the reader how to use usuba, deba and yanagiba, the three main traditional Japanese knives, and explains many essential techniques, illustrating these lessons by working with ingredients familiar to western readers, like carrots and rainbow trout. Color photos and Nozaki's commentary further clarify the process, and the pictures are taken from the chef's perspective for easier understanding (most other books take photos from the reverse perspective). Each technique is accompanied by recipes that require its use, and all recipes are very simple, using easy-to-acquire ingredients. Other sections include a look at artisanal Japanese knife making and information on sharpening, storing and identifying the variety of Japanese knives. Specialty knives are shown on location, from the unique unagi eel knife in an unagi specialty restaurant to the colossal tuna filleting knife in Tsukiji fish market., Sales of Japanese kitchen knives are booming in the U.S. But how many people have the skills to use these superbly-crafted tools to full advantage?
