Historical Background and Design

The Yanagiba (柳刃包丁), or simply sashimi knife, is an indispensable tool in Japanese cuisine. The knife's history dates back to the 14th century when the Japanese began consuming raw fish. The art of eating thinly sliced raw fish, or sashimi, became popular in the 17th century, leading to the development of a specialized knife. The name "Yanagiba" comes from the words “yanagi” (willow leaf) and “ba” (blade), referring to the knife's long, slender shape that resembles a willow leaf. The single-bevel edge ensures precise, clean cuts while preserving the delicate texture of the fish.
