Anyone use these? They come with cases like shapton pro.
Look like maybe only JDM market stone at the moment.
Naniwa-super-stones in a repackaged box?
That is what the fellow claims but I have no idea.
Hmm...that is weird.

@ 3:17 he shows the p/n for the kagayaki as
= SS12000 001A519
a quick check shows something the p/n for the 10mm superstone is unique
= SP12000 001S307
so something is off ... or maybe they are the same but there is more to it...
who knows
link for reference is here.

I have been using the 400 and 2000 gouken kagayaki. There isn't anything outstanding about them. I think the chosera range is better
Can you compare them to the super stones? If not, are they splash and go? Hard or soft? Where does one buy such a stone?
They are splash and go. Haven't used the superstones in a while, I don't really remember them. Compared to Chosera they're softer, faster dishing, but they dish more evenly and are somewhat easier to keep flat. Slightly muddier, cutting speed is quite similar. Much easier to get an even finish with these, but they do hide lots of mistakes for you to discover on later stones
