TOJIRO MV Yanagiba 270mm (F-1058)

The Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese sashimi knife, designed specifically for preparing sashimi, sushi, and other delicate seafood dishes. The name “Yanagi” means willow blade, reflecting its long and slender shape that resembles a willow branch.

This knife features a Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel core clad in stainless steel, making it both highly rust-resistant and easy to re-sharpen, while maintaining excellent edge retention. The single bevel edge provides razor-sharp precision, perfect for clean, smooth cuts.

The handle is made of magnolia wood, which is naturally water-resistant, and reinforced with a resin collar for added durability and balance.

Why Choose the TOJIRO MV Yanagiba 270mm?

• Perfect for Japanese cuisine – designed for sashimi, sushi, nigiri, and delicate seafood slicing

• Also versatile in Western kitchens – ideal for carving large roasted meats with precision

• Single-bevel edge – ensures ultra-clean slicing without tearing fibers, preserving texture and presentation

• Long blade length (270mm) – allows for smooth slicing motions, reducing the need for repeated cuts

The fundamental slicing technique with a Yanagiba is to pull the knife in a single motion rather than cutting straight down. This method preserves the integrity of the ingredient, delivering the perfect slice every time.
