Japanese Quality in the Kitchen
The Satake Tomoko Nakiri is a high-quality Japanese kitchen knife designed specifically for precise cutting of vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Its 16 cm blade is the ideal choice for creating thin, even slices—perfect for salads, stir-fry dishes, or decorative vegetable strips.
The nakiri knife allows for precise execution of various cutting techniques such as julienne (matchstick-thin strips) and chiffonade (finely shredded leafy greens). The rectangular, thin blade ensures uniform slicing, while the straight cutting edge is ideal for vertical push-cutting, a common motion in Japanese kitchens.
The nakiri (菜切) means “vegetable cutter” in Japanese, with roots going back to the 17th-century Edo period. The straight edge and thin blade enable clean cuts without crushing the produce. The Satake Tomoko Nakiri blends traditional Japanese design with modern materials, offering a reliable and ergonomic tool for every vegetable enthusiast.
