The Yanagiba knife is specifically designed for cutting sashimi beautifully in Japanese cuisine. Its defining feature is the long, thin blade that allows for delicate, smooth cuts by pulling the blade through the fish in one motion. This technique prevents the fish’s cells from being damaged, preserving its freshness and flavor in the final presentation. The unique shape of the Yanagiba knife is favored by professional chefs as well as home cooks who seek to create aesthetically pleasing sashimi dishes with precision and ease.
