USUBA KNIFE
The usuba is an ideal knife for fine dicing and julienne and brunoise slicing. In Japan’s Kanto region (Tokyo), the usuba has a square tip, while in the Kansai region (Osaka and Kyoto), this knife comes with a rounded tip and is referred to as the kamagata usuba. Both styles cut in the same manner. The usuba is used for katsuramuki, a fundamental Japanese chefs’ technique to cut
paper thin sheets of vegetables (like daikon).
