Top 5 Japanese knife sets

What is better than one Japanese kitchen knife? A complete set of Japanese kitchen knives, of course! These knives are known for their superior sharpness compared to European kitchen knives. Thanks to the use of extremely hard steel, Japanese kitchen knives are sharpened to an even thinner edge, resulting in less cutting resistance and more cutting pleasure. If you are a fan of a specific Japanese brand, you obviously want a chef's knife, carving knife and peeling knife with the same perfect cutting characteristics and matching style. In that case, buying a complete set of Japanese knives is the ideal choice! But which knife should you choose? We'll help you get started with this top-5 list.
