Satake Satoru Sashimi Japanese Kitchen Knife 21 cm

 Japanese Quality in the Kitchen

The Satake Satoru Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese kitchen knife, designed specifically for slicing fresh fish into ultra-thin, almost transparent slices. Its long, narrow, and rigid blade makes it the perfect tool for preparing sashimi, sushi, fish carpaccio, and other dishes where precision and clean cuts are essential. The single-bevel edge ensures smooth and flawless slicing while preserving the delicate texture of the fish.

The Yanagiba (柳刃包丁), also known as a sashimi knife, originated in Japan as early as the 14th century, when the consumption of raw fish became increasingly popular. By the 17th century, sashimi had become a refined culinary art, prompting the development of this specialized knife. The name Yanagiba comes from the words yanagi (willow leaf) and ba (blade), reflecting its slim, willow-leaf-like shape. The single-bevel edge provides exceptional control and clean slices without tearing the fish.

The Satake Satoru Yanagiba is not only perfect for sashimi but also great for slicing vegetables and fruits where elegant, paper-thin presentation matters.
