The Satake Nashiji Nakiri is a high-quality Japanese kitchen knife, specially designed for precise cutting of vegetables, fruits, and herbs. This 16 cm nakiri knife is the perfect choice for creating thin, uniform slices. Whether you're prepping ingredients for salads or stir-fry dishes, this knife makes it easy.
The nakiri allows for various cutting techniques, such as julienne (matchstick-style cuts) or chiffonade (thinly sliced leafy greens).
Its thin, rectangular blade ensures even cuts, while the straight edge is ideal for vertical chopping – essential for many kitchen tasks. Lightweight and comfortable to use, it remains efficient even during extended use.
The nakiri (菜切), meaning "vegetable cutter" in Japanese, dates back to the Edo period of the 17th century. Its signature straight blade is perfectly suited for precision vegetable slicing. The thin blade profile allows for clean cuts without crushing the produce. The straight edge supports push cutting, a common technique in Japanese cuisine for clean and controlled cuts.
The Satake Nashiji Nakiri blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern requirements, offering a reliable and versatile tool for your kitchen.
