Japanese Kitchen Knife Nakiri 165mm

The Nakiri is a traditional Japanese kitchen tool primarily used for cutting vegetables. It is a type of knife with a flat blade and straight profile, enabling efficient and precise slicing of vegetables into pieces or thin slices. The word "Nakiri" in Japanese literally means "vegetable cutter."

The knife has a wide, rectangular blade, perfect for precise cuts with a simple, vertical motion. This design provides stability and control during cutting. The wide surface of the blade also makes it easier to transfer sliced vegetables from the cutting board to the pot or pan.

The Nakiri is particularly popular in Japanese cuisine, where vegetables play an important role in many dishes. However, due to its versatility and efficiency, it is also gaining recognition in other cuisines around the world.

This kitchen tool is an excellent choice for those who frequently prepare vegetable-based dishes. Thanks to its unique shape and sharp blade, cutting and slicing vegetables becomes easier, faster, more precise, and ultimately healthier. Vegetables retain their valuable minerals as they are cut cleanly without crushing the flesh.
