Sorry shayne, I haven't been to Osaka and I am not sure of any members who live there. I am sure there will be many places but finding one will be the challenge.

Look at me with Morihei... All this time and I never knew they were just around the corner (so to speak). Happy hunting.

Yeah , Japan can be like that hidden treasures easily overlooked hidden down those narrow streets.

Thank you for your reply. :beer2:

How do those compare to a Nakayama?

I have two Ozuko and they are much finer, I am still looking for a Nakayama that can rival them.

I've only compared one Ohzuku Asagi to my Nakayama Asagi. The difference was about $1400 :p :D

Do you think a green hued Maruichi "Maruka" (Nakayama Asagi) might come close?:D
