Yuri Santoku Japanese Kitchen Knife
The Yuri Knife collection from Shinzu Hamono features knives crafted with a three-layer steel construction, known for their thin blades. This layering adds durability, while the stainless steel provides resistance against corrosion.
What is a Santoku knife?
The Santoku knife, which means 'three virtues' in Japanese, is a popular multi-purpose kitchen tool. These three virtues refer to its ability to handle chopping, slicing, and dicing tasks, as well as its versatility in cutting various ingredients like fish, meat, and vegetables.
What is the Santoku best for?
Just like its name suggests, the Santoku knife is perfect for chopping, dicing, and mincing all sorts of foods like meat, fish, and veggies. With its sharp, slim blade and straight edge, you can make quick, clean cuts using an up-and-down motion, a tap-chop, or a push-cut.
The Santoku's tall, flat shape and its thin, sharp blade make it great for easily slicing up thin pieces of meat, seafood, cheese, fruits, and vegetables. Plus, its wide blade comes in handy for scooping food off the cutting board.
