If you asked: \”Give me a stone that isn\’t too soft, isn\’t too hard, has great feedback, is splash and go, and has its own base but won\’t cost me an arm and a leg,\”, we\’re reaching for the Shapton Kuromaku every time.

Somewhat reminiscent of the Chosera (albeit with a slightly thinner stone), the Kuromaku are a splash and go dream. Softer than the Glass HR, harder than Suehiro Cerax, they represent excellent value.
