A slightly more difficult whetstone to use and takes softer pressure to bring out a clean finish. Not very muddy unless you work for a while, but it leaves a beautiful finish. Excellent uniformity and could use a base because it is on the thinner side.

Asagi:
This aesthetic term refers to the general color of the stone. Typically, Asagi stones are grey, light blue, greyish-blue/green, and tan. They are usually quite clean stones that are on the harder side. However, softer Asagi stones are great for knife polishing.
Goma:
This aesthetic quality looks like tiny black dots, or little sesame seeds in the stone. This quality typically translates to having a fast cutting speed.
