The Blacksmtih
Moritaka Hamono was founded in 1293 during the Kamakura period by Kongohyoe Minamoto no Moritaka, who was the head swordsmith for the Bhuddist priests at Mt. Homan in Dazaifu, Fukuoka. His descendants then followed in his footsteps in the same city for 13 generations.
In 1632, the family followed the Higo Daimyo Mitsunari Hosokawa (The feudal ruler of the Higo region) and moved to Miyaji-machi, Yatsushiro City in Kumamoto. For another 13 generations in this city, they forged swords for Bhuddist armies, the Daimyo's army, and also for the Daimyo himself. Moritaka swords were unique becuase they were made and used to help attain Bhudda hood.
Five generations ago, master swordsmith Chuzaemon Moritaka decided to expand and apply their forging techniques to kitchen knives. Then then theyve been dedicated to producing a large variety of kitchen knives and edged gardening tools for agricultural use and forestry.
The Petty
The Petty is the Japanese equivalent to a paring knife. At the shop we think they blow western paring knives out of the water because that extra bit of length adds a lot of versatility and we don't find it gets in the way of smaller tasks. Wether you're capping strawberries or brussel sprouts, peeling or turning vegetables, or leaving it out at your station during service is case you forgot the prep that half litre of brunoise shallots for the oysters the petty has your back.
