  • What is he supposed to use?

    nakiri? yanagi?

  • I'm pretty confident that (Kamagata) Usuba is the knife that is used normally. You can use Yanagi or Nakiri as well. Gyuto can work too. I find Usuba the best to control though.

  • @kragier I think it all depends on what you feel comfortable with and then LOTS of practice. I'm gradually improving with my nakiri (which BTW is a style of Usuba). Yanagi and Gyutos are not recommended by some due to the knifes having a slight curve compared to the usubas. The guy who is teaching me can literally do it with any knife, but he prefers his Suisin Inox.

  • @JasonECI Usuba is best. Yanagi and gyuto are also good.

    Nakiri isn't as good from what I've heard.

    I would hope to do this someday; when I can afford an usuba ;-;

  • A curved blade like yanagi works?

  • So THAT'S how it's done. Nice.

  • you know, people also stick bamboo into the knife to elevate it from the cutting board, and run a daikon through it. kind of like a cheese grater

  • another lefty!!! Whooohoooo!!!

  • No, he's using the Usuba-bocho, which is the correct knife to cut daikon.
