Aritsugu was established by a Fujiwara Aritsugu, in 1560 in Kyoto. Aritsugu was a swordsmith of purveyors to Kyoto Imperial Palace. The artisans who have mastered the skill over many generations now make kitchen knives and cooking tools with the traditional method and historical spirits in Nishiki market, Kyoto. They cannot be mass-produced. Famous Japanese cooks cherish Aritsugu’s kitchen knives and cooking tools.
This handmade copper grater is one of the best sellers in Kyoto Aritsugu. Its small sharp blades do not break food cells, making nicer flavors and bring
Umami out of the food.
