Why We Love It: A Former Chef’s View
Arima Homewares was founded by a former chef with experience across fine-dining, steakhouse, bakery and catering kitchens. That professional background shapes how we select and explain kitchen tools: what they do exceptionally well, where they require care and which cook they genuinely suit.
“The advantage of a 24cm Sujihiki is fewer sawing motions. Let the long, slim blade travel through the ingredient in a smooth draw for cleaner slices and better presentation.”
