The Yanagiba is Japan’s dedicated sushi and sashimi knife, built for one thing and doing it better than anything else. The long single bevel blade is designed to slice through fish in a single pulling motion, producing clean cuts that preserve the texture and presentation of the fish.
It is a specialised knife, and if you work with raw fish regularly, it is one of the most satisfying tools you can own. We stock Yanagiba knives from respected Japanese makers including Tojiro and others, across a range of sizes and price points.
