 Japanese Quality in Your Kitchen

The Satake Satoru Nakiri is a high-quality Japanese kitchen knife specifically designed for precise cutting of vegetables, fruits, and herbs. This 16 cm nakiri knife is an ideal choice when you want to create thin and even slices. It allows you to easily chop ingredients for salads or stir-fry dishes.

The nakiri knife enables precise execution of various cutting techniques such as julienne (matchstick-thin strips) or chiffonade (thinly sliced leafy greens).

Its thin, rectangular blade guarantees even cutting, while the straight cutting edge is perfect for vertical slicing, essential for many kitchen tasks. The knife is light and comfortable to use, making longer work sessions easier. The ergonomic design of the Satake Satoru series further enhances comfort.

The nakiri knife (菜切), literally meaning “vegetable cutter” in Japanese, dates back to the Edo period of the 17th century. It is characterized by its straight blade, ideal for precise vegetable cutting. The thinner blade design allows fine slicing without crushing the vegetables. The straight edge is perfect for push-cutting, a common technique in Japanese cuisine for clean cuts. Nakiri knives gained popularity during the Edo period when plant-based diets increased the demand for specialized vegetable knives. The Satake Satoru Nakiri combines traditional Japanese shape with modern materials, offering a reliable and efficient tool for vegetable lovers.
