The flavor of sashimi is determined by the cut. This blade recreates the professional technique of cutting fish at home. In contrast to the deba knife, which is used to fillet fish, the yanagi blade was created to beautifully slice filleted meat. It was designed to help you rediscover Japan's ancient and delicate food culture along with modern functional beauty.

■ A smooth blade that makes sashimi delicious
Its greatest feature is its slim, long, and flexible blade. By taking advantage of its length and pulling it smoothly towards you, you can cut the ingredients without breaking their fibers, resulting in a smooth, shiny cut. This brings out the natural flavor of the fish and makes it very easy to eat.

■24cm for flexible control
The blade length is an exquisite 24cm, making it easy to handle even in a home kitchen, yet allowing you to cut through the slices in one motion. It is surprisingly smooth and controllable, allowing you to not only cut sashimi, but also delicately slicing and peeling, which can be quite difficult.

■All-stainless steel integrated structure
The seamless design from the blade to the handle prevents dirt from accumulating, making it extremely hygienic. It also makes it easy to remove fish oil and odors, and can be sterilized in boiling water, making it ideal for use with raw foods. It combines traditional Japanese beauty with ease of daily care.
