“Osaka, the food capital” event to rediscover the charm (2019.10.15-17)
October 16, 2019 (Wednesday) Visit to Sakai kelp specialty store (Goda Shoten) / Sakai City
Sakai knives have a history of about 600 years. After encountering kelp, the masterpiece ``Oboro konbu'' was born. The knife used to shave the oboro kelp is a special one, and the blade tip is bent before being shaved. Therefore, you need a knife that is both sharp and flexible enough to stick to kelp. We were able to meet this difficult request because of the 600-year-old Sakai knife technology. A skilled konbu craftsman uses this knife like his own fingers to carve out ultra-thin, flimsy kelp that has a pleasant texture.
