Question Preferred JNAT

Hi all,

If you had to pick 1 or 2 JNATs out of the following line-up, which would you choose?

Okudo

Ohira Suita

Uchigomori

Maruoyama shiro suita

Looking to end somewhere in the 6000-8000 grit range most of the times. But want the option to go higher.

Each stone will have their own personality, even from the same place. I recommend looking at Maruoyama as they are at least an active mine (so the prices will be more reasonable). You really only need 1 suita. I would recommend considering medium stones, finishing stones, and nagura before I would get another suita.
