Chiba Tsumataro Katsuramuki & Garnish Slicer

Japanese garnish and vegetable cutting are elevated to the level of an art form, where precision and delicacy play key roles in creating visually stunning and appetising dishes. This culinary practice, known as “mukimono” in Japan, extends beyond mere food preparation; it is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship deeply ingrained in the Japanese approach to life.

For those who don’t have several years to spare while they hone their knife techniques or immerse themselves in Japanese culture, the Chiba Tsumataro offers instant automation of some of the most famous presentation forms of the Japanese Chef. This solid and beautifully made commercial turning slicer will rapidly replicate four of the most iconic knife techniques, bringing professional food presentation within quick and easy reach.

The four razor sharp stainless blade units of the Tsumataro precisely process firm vegetables into thin translucent sheets, fine vermicelli shape noodles, and two types of lattice or mesh net pattern. These intricately crafted profiles can then be employed to wrap, enclose, layer, or garnish your dishes, imparting a combination of visual beauty and nuanced, refreshing flavours. Each of these techniques can add new textural levels of interest to salads, stir fries, sushi and much more.

The robust nature and craftsmanship of the Tumataro is immediately obvious when unboxing. This professional machine is the perfect addition to the commercial kitchen, expanding the repertoire of any chef. Buy with confidence.
