🍣 About the Yanagi Knife
The Yanagi Shirogami 270mm belongs to the sashimi knife category and is designed specifically for preparing sashimi, sushi, and other seafood.
In addition to Japanese cuisine, it has become increasingly popular in Western kitchens for slicing large roasts and other precise slicing tasks.
The name “Yanagi” means “willow blade”, reflecting its long, slender shape—similar to a willow branch.
⚠️ Usage Tip: Avoid cutting straight down. Instead, use a smooth slicing motion, pulling the knife toward you to achieve clean, precise cuts and maintain the integrity of the food.
