About Yu Kurosaki 黒崎 優

A young artisan in his forties, Yu Kurosaki has become one of leading knife makers in Japan, winning top awards and attention for his hand-forged knives especially his Tsuchime finish. Inheriting over 700 years of knife making skills from previous generations of Echizen artisans, Mr Kurosaki has focused his career on making knives that give unforgettable impressions and incredible cutting pleasures. Yu's unique Tsuchime design, as seen in his Shizuku and Fujin series, are not only aesthetically magnificent but also incredibly functional when it comes to making food less likely to stick to blades. Today, Yu's works, hand made in small batches, have become so popular overseas that his top knives like the ones featured in Burrfection Store are increasingly hard to come by.

Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. 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.

Great customer service
I really liked this handheld frother, it was powerful with 2 speed and easy to charge. Sadly, after 5 months of use it completely stopped working. It took me a minute to find the direct contact to the seller. Amazon makes it nearly impossible to find the direct contact when you have issues and need to reach out to the seller. After digging through the site multiple times, I was finally able to reach out to them directly. After explaining my situation, they are going to replace my hand frother. The customer service rep was nice and understanding of my situation.

If only it lasted!
Loved it - until it stopped working after 6m. I used it for matcha and collagen powders. Purchased specifically because it was a small company. Very effective, also very short lived.

The VERY BEST frother!
This will be the only frother I will buy for the rest of my life! It has amazing power, 2 speed settings, a double whisk, and a case to protect the whisk!!! Thos are so many features that by far shouldve made this frother so much more expensive. I use this everyday for 2 things; to make cold foam for my coffee and I love making shaken espressos at home but the noise of shaking the coffee and ice wake up my small children which is absolutely unforgivable so I use this frother instead and its amazing. If all the things previously mentioned werent enough let this next part convince you; my frother wasnt working properly a few morning ago, it was a little less powerful than usual and so I send a message to the seller and they sent me a new one no questions asked!!!! OMG i had never had such a pleasant experience like that, i was shocked they have raised the bar for me for what I should expect customer service to be. I received my new one superfast only took 2 days I was amazed !!! The only frother I will ever continue to buy !!!!!

Great product even if it dies in a little over a year.
I bought this in May 2023 and it's July 2024. I went on a trip for 6 days and when I came back, it wouldn't turn on. It could possibly be because I've used it every day and suddenly stopped. Either way, I'm disappointed in the longevity of this product. For the price I expected more, but nothing is made to last any more. That being said, I love the design and rechargeable aspect. The cap is awesome for storage and clean up is super easy. This little machine packs a punch as long as you have enough liquid. I've never had issues with lumps or performance in general. I will purchase this product again to see if it was just a fluke.

Bigger/sturdier than expected = good and bad. Recharging cable is USB to USB-C. Need old style brick
I like the design in that it comes with a cover that shields the wand in my utensil drawer but its a bit bigger than expected. So its a plus that its sturdier but a minus that it takes up more space. The USB-C cable is USB to USB-C and not USB-C to USB-C so I had to go fishing for an old brick. Am hoping it doesn't need to charge often. The indicator shows its plugged in but not whether charged.
