Product Overview

The IKKAKU Bessaku MT-90977 is a 270 mm, 9-sun yanagiba with an AUS-8A stainless-steel blade and a wooden handle. Made in Japan, it combines a single-bevel edge with a hardness of HRC 58.

Choose the longer yanagiba format for sashimi preparation where the blade length supports a drawing stroke through the fish portion. Its AUS-8A steel, HRC 58 specification and wooden handle provide concrete points of comparison with other sashimi knives, rather than relying on blade length alone.

A 270 mm sashimi blade

The 9-sun blade gives this yanagiba more working length than a 240 mm option. Use the long edge for drawing cuts through prepared fish, keeping the blade choice specific to sashimi slicing rather than general chopping.
