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.笑う門に福来たる。

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

How do those compare to a Nakayama?Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr.

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

I've only compared one Ohzuku Asagi to my Nakayama Asagi. The difference was about $1400 Originally Posted by Kees

Do you think a green hued Maruichi "Maruka" (Nakayama Asagi) might come close? Originally Posted by mainaman
