It is said that 60-70% of starred restaurants in Tokyo use this duck. Chef Namae of L'effervescence had considerable sessions with Mr. Kato of Iyasaka until he was satisfied with the duck. Each of the three restaurants uses a different part of the duck, and each dish offers a special feeling to the customers.
Alexis MOKO is the chef/owner of a beautiful restaurant in a large converted Machiya townhouse in Marutamachi, Kyoto. In his second year of business, he has received a Michelin star. It seems like a good start, but it is only just beginning to come through the tunnel of trials and tribulations brought on by the pandemic storm.
Michel BRAS Côté Japon
Red Dot Design Award 2021 winner
"Michel Bras collaborated with Kai of Shun knives to make these out of stainless steel and PakkaWood in Japan. The finest collaboration of expertise between a chef and a steel master, with a beautiful design. The perfect combination of Japanese precision and sharpness, and French balance. While they are expensive, they will last a lifetime." (Jetset Magazine)
I love my knives from Michel BRAS. A relative lost my No. 7 over 5 years ago. Every time I would reach for a knife in the block I’d notice it was gone. My OCD is in check now. However the question of what I would get myself for my birthday there was zero doubt when phrases like that—No. 7!!! It was delivered so fast from Japan to PacNW.
Now I’m even more zen than ever in my kitchen. My niece has asked to bequeath them and it’s official. Love Michel BRAS knives. Quality and precision!
the scissors arrived in perfect timing, in the midst of lunar new year feasting. I used it to cut a roasted suckling pig with ease, not requiring a cutting board and not having to crush the precious crackling. The knife feels hefty with a good bite, its smooth operation allows fo efficient and quick cutting, the cleaning is easy bec. both blades comes apart. Highly recommended! (Attached how the roast pig looked before cutting)
You can tell these scissors have obviously gone through a lot of testing during the developmental process. The details from the feel of the handle, the materials of the blade, the way it cuts, everything is thoroughly optimized.
Perfection at its best. This is the Rolls Royce of mandolins.
La finition du bois et de la lame est juste magnifique à regarder et à tenir dans la main!
I used it to bone a red snapper that I caught, worked perfectly for me. The handle is quite thick and grips very well, and the blade is sharp so I was able to slice through the bones without applying any force.
The sheath serves me well to carry it around on my fishing trips.
切っている部分の感触が直接伝わる感じがすごく良かった！刃も開閉する時にブレーキがかかるので微調整が可能になっていて、力が見た目以上に入るのでカニの甲羅なども切れる優れもの。
The design team did a great job on this. Just a simple cylinder including layered ceramic mortar. Love it. Beware that it takes time to dry it after washing it.
The blade was way too sharp I cut myself on the first time I used it. Since then I use the cart with a handle and it never happened again, though. Loved how the design is user-friendly, not gimmicky and above-all, gorgeous to watch and to touch. It's like having a racing car in the kitchen.
Less is more, and this knife block proves it. So simple, yet very precisely and elegantly done.
Ce tranchant est majestueux. Mes clients sont ravis et intéressés.
Rien de mieux pour se motiver en cuisine! Chaque couteau convient parfaitement à sa fonction, peut être que le sujihiki pourrait être plus long, mais c'est une question de préférence et non de nécessité. Bravo.
