A well‑balanced Drgskl ATS‑34 chef knife simplifies preparing hard root vegetables for authentic homemade Chikuzen‑ni.

   
  

 

Prep ingredients:
 
  
lotus root, carrot, konjac, shiitake mushrooms, chicken thigh, Japanese soy sauce, sake and rock sugar.
  
  

 

Cut lotus roots into rolling chunks without crushing delicate root pores.

 

Trim carrots into rounded pieces, carve cross‑shaped patterns on shiitakes and dice chicken thighs.

 

The high‑density ATS‑34 steel slices rigid root crops effortlessly and yields tidy, intact cuts.
  
  

 

Sauté chicken pieces in hot oil, add all root‑vegetable ingredients, 

 

pour in seasoned sauce and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.

 

Hard textured root vegetables heavily test knife performance.

 

 

Ordinary blades crush vegetable fibres and create jagged cuts.

 

Drgskl Japanese engineered knives are calibrated for Japanese home‑style cooking.

 

 

  
Treat your ingredients with sharp, 

 

Refined cutlery and recreate warm‑toned traditional Japanese home cuisine at home.
