The Yoake is made by the same maker of the renowned Komorebi and Yorokobi. In order to make it more affordable, the makers produced a simpler version: a Kurouchi finish with the same overall grind and profile of the Komorebi. Comes with a Blue 1 core and iron cladding, keeping the same thick heel and super aggressive taper.
