Sashimi and Sushi Knives – Yanagiba

When preparing sushi or sashimi, it's essential to have the right tools. Fresh, high-quality ingredients are key, but so are the right knives. Japanese sashimi and sushi knives are essential tools for preparing fish and meat. Without them, it would be difficult to slice fish or cut meat evenly. We have a wide selection of traditional Yanagiba knives and other slicing knives that will allow you to prepare Japanese cuisine like a professional.
Yanagiba knife – the master of slicing
The Yanagiba knife has a long, thin blade that ends in a point. This makes it perfect for cutting raw fish into thin, even slices without damaging its delicate structure. The single bevel blade (available in right- or left-handed versions) allows for exceptional cutting precision, which sushi masters really appreciate. The Yanagiba is the most important sashimi knife. It is an essential tool in every professional Japanese kitchen.

Sashimi knives are used for many things:
-    Filling fish and seafood
-    Cutting meat into thin slices
-    Cutting sashimi into portions
-    Preparing sushi and other traditional dishes
-    Cutting delicate products that require a sharp, thin blade
We offer only the best knives made in Japan.

They are made of high-quality steel, including stainless and Damascus steel, which guarantees they will stay sharp and last a long time. The handles are made of natural wood or durable modern materials. They are always designed with attention to ergonomics and comfort. Many models also have decorative details, making them not only practical but also a beautiful addition to any kitchen.

What's the difference between sushi and sashimi?

Sushi and sashimi are often talked about together, but they are very different dishes.
Sashimi is a way of serving raw meat. It is usually made from fish and seafood, but it can also be made from beef or horse meat. It is served plain, often in cubes or slices, with spices and condiments like soy sauce, wasabi, or ponzu.
Sushi is a more complex dish. It consists of rice seasoned with rice vinegar. It also has accompaniments such as raw fish, seafood, vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, or nori. It is considered one of the healthiest dishes in Japanese cuisine.
