Thank you. Looking Japanese stuff is a great idea. They are one of the few places to still keep some manufacturing "in-house." Searching is hard and companies

Thank you. Looking Japanese stuff is a great idea. They are one of the few places to still keep some manufacturing "in-house." Searching is hard and companies are not always fully transparent about their process. E.g. "Assembled in the USA" for a frying pan could mean that the pan and handle are made in China, but riveted to each other in the USA. Sigh.

For nicer kitchenware, shy away from retail stores in general. Search out brands, find what nice restaurants are using - some fancy restaurants seek out small, artisanal manufacturers for sure. I remember Jungsik had all dinnerware from Korean artisans. Nice stuff.
