Important
The exposed Aogami steel plane blade is very sharp. Use the supplied safety holder as the bonito block gets short, keep fingers behind the cutting edge, and keep the tool away from children. Follow the maker's blade-adjustment and sharpening guidance. Hand wash gently, wipe the wood and blade dry at once, and do not use a dishwasher. Confirm that whole katsuobushi is suitable for the intended diet and food-handling needs. Tax, delivery, and baggage or customs costs are separate from the listed prices.Image: Nalata Nalata / ambai ↗
