About Myojinriki Seisakusho 明神利器製作所 

Myojinriki Seisakusho is a Kochi-based knifemaking workshop run by Tateo Myojin (明神 健雄) and Naohito Myojin (明神 直人), the father and son team. Tateo, who was born in the largely rural Kochi Prefecture in 1950, developed his interest in blade forging at a young age, so he went to Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, the famous city of forged knives, to receive training from Sakai knifemakers. 

Care:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. 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.

Surprisingly Great for Diarrhea + Dropped My LDL Big Time – Sugar-Free Winner!
Size: 2.3 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: Sugar Free 180 count
I started taking this Metamucil Sugar-Free 4-in-1 Psyllium Fiber mainly because I deal with diarrhea more than constipation (opposite of what it's usually advertised for). I was skeptical, but it worked amazingly well—firms things up, reduces urgency and frequency, and gives me normal, regular bowel movements without any cramping or worsening. It's gentle, mixes okay in water (orange flavor is tolerable, not too sweet since it's sugar-free), and I take 2 teaspoons daily. Even better bonus: after a few months of consistent use, my LDL cholesterol dropped from 110 to 58! That's a huge win for heart health—I wasn't expecting that, but the psyllium fiber really does trap cholesterol and help lower it (backed by studies and Metamucil's own claims). No side effects for me, and it's affordable in bulk. If you have diarrhea/IBS-D issues or want natural cholesterol support, this is worth trying (start low and drink plenty of water).

Metamucil 4-in-1 Psyllium Husk GLP-1 Friendly Fiber Supplement, Sugar-Free, 180 teaspoons, Orange
Size: 2.3 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: Sugar Free 180 count
I started taking Metamucil after my doctor recommended boosting my daily fiber intake, and I genuinely wish I had started sooner. This sugar-free orange flavor has become a non-negotiable part of my morning routine. First, the taste — for a sugar-free supplement, it's surprisingly pleasant. The orange flavor is light and natural, not artificial or overpowering. Mixed into a glass of cold water, it goes down easily without that chalky, gritty aftertaste I dreaded from other fiber products I've tried in the past. The 4-in-1 benefits are the real selling point for me. I've noticed a genuine difference in my digestive regularity, I feel fuller between meals (which has helped me make better snack choices), and my energy levels feel more stable throughout the day. As someone on a GLP-1 medication, I was thrilled to find a fiber supplement specifically formulated to complement that — it fills a real gap in the market. The 180-teaspoon count is outstanding value. This container lasts a long time, which means fewer reorders and a lower cost per serving than most comparable products. The scoop is easy to use and the powder dissolves well with a quick stir — no clumping. My digestion has genuinely improved since making this a daily habit. Less bloating, more consistency, and I just feel better overall. It's one of those quiet little wellness wins that adds up over time. If you're on the fence, just try it. Simple, effective, great value — this is now a permanent fixture in my pantry. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Does its job very well
Size: 2.3 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: Sugar Free 180 count
Been using Metamucil for years. Because it is a quality product that dissolves well in water, tastes fine, and a very easy way to stay regular. Considering what it does for my system, it is a cost efficient way to get more fiber in my diet with no side effects.

Excellent product!
Size: 2.3 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: Sugar Free 180 count
I held on to this product for months before trying it. Wow! Not sure what took me so long, but I am so impressed. First of all, it is easy to drink - just do it quickly. The taste is surprisingly refreshing. Even more important, it works. If you have IBS or other digestive issues, you may be pleasantly surprised at how it helps these issues. I just regret I didn’t start using it years ago. I take at least two drinks a day, sometimes only one.
