About Yanagiba Knives:

The Yanagiba knife is a traditional Japanese sashimi knife that developed during the Edo period.
It features a long, single-edged blade designed primarily for slicing sashimi and other delicate thin cuts.

The blade is thin and sharp all the way to the tip, allowing for smooth cuts without damaging the delicate fish flesh.
It is especially ideal for making thin slices of sashimi and preparing sushi toppings, and is widely used by professional chefs and home fish enthusiasts alike.

Thanks to its long blade length, it enables a single, clean slicing motion to create beautiful cut surfaces, preserving the natural flavor and texture of the ingredient.

Besides fish, the Yanagiba is also suitable for slicing meat and vegetables thinly, making it an indispensable knife in Japanese cuisine known for its precise and elegant cutting performance.
