[livejournal.com profile] emquilxy sends me all kinds of awesome shit in snailmail, and this article on Japanese knives was no exception. Better than the article, though, which features Masaharu Morimoto talking about knives and showing off his mad skills, is the set of pictures below, and my cousin's commentary on a picture of him slicing a daikon radish in a very specialised way:





The only thing that tops this is the time she sent me a review of Villas's book, Pig, and drew an arrow to the cover and wrote, "I KNOW THAT." If you're a True Blood fan, it will take a minute but say it in your head in your best drunk Andy Bellefleur voice.

Reiko knows how to cut daikon like that.
She gave a demo to a friend in Austin who'd studied at the Cordon Bleu.
