About Tanaka Kazuyuki Hamono 田中一之刃物

Tanaka's blade making started in the late Meiji era in 1904, by making sickles during the Russo-Japanese War. In 1946, Tanaka workshop started focusing more on kitchen knives, and in the year 2000 with the 3rd generation Kazuyuki Takana (田中 一之) on the throne, the family business changed its name to "Tanaka Kazuyuki Hamono" and has been using this name since. Kazuyuki's son - 4th generation blacksmith Shigeki Tanaka (田中 誠貴) - started making blades with his father in 1994. The father and son team, having learned traditional blade making in Fukui, started making knives with "Shigeki saku" and “Hideyuki saku” mark.

Care:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami #2 core. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Perfect
Flavor Name: Vanilla
I got this vanilla syrup for my wedding to use at a soda bar, and it was such a hit! Everyone loved it. The flavor is amazing—smooth, sweet, and really rich without tasting artificial. It added the perfect cozy touch to the drinks and worked so well with everything on the menu. I’m so glad I chose this one, it tasted incredible and made everything feel extra special!

Syrup
Flavor Name: Vanilla
The Torani Vanilla Coffee Syrup is a great value and a nice, generous size. The vanilla flavor is smooth and works well in coffee and other drinks. I really appreciate that it comes with a pump—it makes dispensing easy and mess-free once it’s set up. However, it’s important to note that when you first insert the pump into a new, full bottle, the syrup can spill over due to the displacement. I recommend placing the bottle in the sink or removing a small amount of syrup before inserting the pump. Overall, a solid product with great flavor and convenience, just be cautious during the initial setup.

Makes delicious iced coffee!
Flavor Name: Vanilla, Flavor Name: Vanilla
Im someone who likes their coffee to actually taste like coffee and I love this syrup. I’ve been making iced coffee at home almost daily lately, and this vanilla syrup is the only one I keep reaching for. The flavor is smooth and sweet without tasting artificial, and it actually tastes good in iced drinks instead of getting lost in the coffee. The pump also makes it really easy to use without the sticky mess. My current go-to drink: • 2 pumps vanilla syrup • Double espresso pod • Pour over lots of ice • Splash of almond milk • Finish with brown sugar creamer Your bank account will thank me!!!

Syrup is excellent, the pump is dramatic
Flavor Name: Vanilla
I am marking 5 for the syrup itself, my favorite syrup. In regards of the pump, a little too dramatic for me and it will go everywhere. I would rather pour the syrup, including I found the pump will leak and there was a ring of syrup around the base of the bottle. Perfect for a coffee shop, but not for a basic kitchen....but I am picky about syrup splattering because the sugar ants are a nightmare.

GREAT GRAPE FLAVORED AND INCREASED ENERGY
Set name: Welch's Grape
I have tried the competitor’s grape flavored versions. This is by far the best grape flavored energy drink. It gives you the increased energy level you’re looking for without making you feel “fidgety.” Highly recommend this energy drink for its effectiveness and flavor!
