Satake Nashiji Yanagi / Sashimi Japanese Kitchen Knife – 21 cm

The art of precision – for sashimi, sushi, and delicate slicing.

The Satake Nashiji Yanagi is a traditional Japanese sashimi knife, crafted for slicing fresh fish fillets into ultra-thin, clean cuts. With its 21 cm blade, long and narrow shape, and single-bevel edge, it enables precise slicing without damaging the delicate texture of the fish.

This knife isn’t just perfect for sashimi or sushi, but also ideal for fish carpaccio or thinly sliced fruits and vegetables. The Yanagiba (柳刃包丁) knife dates back to the 14th century, and its name – meaning “willow leaf blade” – reflects its elegant, slender design.
