The Naniwa Gouken line represent a new product offering philosophy from Naniwa, one of the most reputable sharpening stone manufacturers.

For as long as I could remember, the Naniwa Chosera line represents the holy-grail of sharpening stones for kitchen knives: very fast cutting power, slow dishing and most importantly offering a very very gentle sharpening feedback that was not seen in other stones. The stone is huge in size (25mm thick, with the 10K over 30mm), and is mounted on a traditional base, and there is a free HUGE Nagura (cleaning stone) comes with the package

(The classic Naniwa Chosera is too big to ship)

If you ask me, what is the problem with the Chosera line? Well the single biggest problem for us, the vendors, is that the stone is simply too big to ship: at 210x70x25mm, the stone is too heavy and to be honest, even in commercially environment like the store, we don’t wear out a Chosera that quick, for an average user it is even less likely to wear one out in a reasonable time. The included nargura doesn’t help either as it contribute to a lot of weight with virtually no use at all (most of us use diamond plates or natural naguras anyway).

At over 2KG in shipping weight, the cost of international shipping becomes prohibitive. If we want to make sure the package lands safely (a cracked stone for an international order is a DISASTER!), a lot of padding must be added, resulting in the volumetric weight sometimes exceeding 3KG.

Plus, so many customers asked the question of “Do you offer the Chosera without base?”

 

The Gouken

To adjust the above-mentioned problems, the Gouken line was introduced. Currently there are two sub-labels under the Gouken branding. The Arata and Kagayaki.

 

The Kagayaki

 

The Kagayaki is very budget friendly. My experience with the Kagayaki is also very good. Based on the popular “Naniwa Super Stone”, the Kagayaki is making it slightly harder therefore less dishing, at 10mm thick, it is very easy to carry around and a standard carrying box can fit two Kagayaki stones. I much prefer that Kagayaki over the similar-sized Shapton Glass Stone because:

1. Overall both the Shpton Glass and the Naniwa Kagayaki perform similarly, the Kagayaki has a better feedback.

2. They are the same in terms of size, however the Glass Stone has a merely 5mm of abrasive (the rest is the GLASS). You keep the stone flat by lapping it, not by having a glass at the back.

3. The Kagayaki is cheaper compared to the Glass Stone, and taking the abrasive thickness into account, the Kagayaki offers a much better value.

Top Class Watch
Color: sliver band blue face-G5885G
I really love this watch, its very bright in the night, it was very easy to set the time on it, I also love the weight of this watch, it's definitely of top class quality, thankfully I didn't need the tool to adjust the band because it fit perfectly fine, plus the quartz system is working quite well, hasn't missed a second since I set it. Time keeping is amazing. Overall, I love this watch so much, I'm thinking of buying the black face one as I bought the blue face one.

Tracking Process & Quality of Product
Color: Black Watches for Men/Black Dial-2870
I don't know where to review the tracking process so I will do it here. I just love the fact that they list stop by stop where your order is. I ordered this for my son for his graduation present and was very excited to give it to him. I was able to see how many stops the driver had before he got to me which allowed me to not only have a better idea of its arrival time, but I was also able to enjoy a buildup of excitement as it got closer and closer. As for the quality of the product ~ both my son and I are very impressed and more than satisfied with the watch so far. I was very trepidatious as so many items, especially jewelry items, look stunning, gorgeous, beautiful, high quality in the pictures online and are nothing short of utterly disappointing when you get them. This watch renewed my belief that there are honest sellers out there. I will say that we just got the watch today so this is purely about the initial presentation and look of the watch. So, the packaging was super nice, high-end quality. Each piece (bands, watchface) were separately wrapped in nice, thick plastic to protect from scratching. The boxes (box for watch & slip cover outer box) were great quality (you know, so many companie's packaging falls apart at barely a touch, which makes me wonder about the quality of what's inside). Thorough, grammatically correct (mostly) directions included; also had tools for taking out links along with fairly easy to follow pictured & written directions. We did have to use a separate pin with a head (like tailors use to mark hem points) to push out the pins bcz the one included bent. One thing I really appreciate is that the company said they are there anytime and to please let them know of any issues. Usually companies do all they can to make it as hard as possible to be contacted. I couldn't stop looking at the watch! It DEFINITELY looks SO MUCH MORE expensive than it was! And the workings move like a Rolex (smoothly), not jumpy like the workings of normal watches. Even my husband remarked on how "Rolexey" it looked. I ordered the all black watch. Again, we've only just gotten it, but if the initial presentation is any indicator of its performance, WE'VE GOT A WINNER!!

Good looking cost effective
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Blue Dial-2870, Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Blue Dial-2870
Good for the price. Looks nice from a distance. Feels heavy. Is a bit noisy when you walk. But value for money.

Low cost watch returned.
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial-2870
I returned this watch the next day after receiving it. It was very attractive and I hope it would work as advertised. The watch came in shrink wrapped plastic that was very tough to removed. I feared damaging the watch. I set it then tried some of its features. The stopwatch worked but it did not reset to the zero position properly. The 24 hour time indicator was off by one hour. The rotating bezel had black lacquer on it that was tender to the touch. A fingernail could have damaged it and a very small nick had already started out of the box. If everything had worked properly I would have kept it for the money spent. I guess you get what you pay for so I am now shopping for a higher quality watch.
