SASHIMI

The sashimi knife is an essential tool in Japanese cuisine, designed specifically for slicing fish into thin and precise slices. This type of knife allows for extremely precise and uniform cuts.
The word "sashimi" refers to a Japanese technique for preparing raw fish, where the fish is sliced into thin pieces and served with sauces and condiments. The sashimi knife is specially designed for this practice, allowing chefs to create fish slices with the perfect consistency for raw consumption.
This knife is particularly suitable for cutting fish such as tuna, salmon, and sea bass, but it can also be used for other types of fish. Its sharp and long blade allows for precise cuts through the fish meat, minimizing juice loss and preserving the texture and flavor of the fish.
The sashimi knife is a fundamental tool in Japanese restaurants and professional kitchens, where accurate fish preparation is essential to ensure the quality and culinary experience of customers. Thanks to its precision and versatility, it is also appreciated by home chefs passionate about Japanese cuisine who want to create authentic and delicious dishes at home.

In the Hakucho line, the typical Japanese lines with elongated blades and sharp tips merge with the style of Maniago, creating an elegant combination enriched by the precious olive wood handle.
