Product Overview

The Shimomura AKP-702 prepares approximately 3 mm vegetable strips for kinpira-style dishes and everyday vegetable sides. Its comb blade makes lengthwise cuts as the flat blade lifts the strips, with the cutting assembly held across an orange Y-shaped head.

The broad ABS-resin handle offers a defined grip below the stainless-steel cutting components, and an opening at its end provides a hanging point. This Japanese-made peeler is dishwasher compatible; clear trapped fibers and dry it after cleaning before storage.

Make strips for kinpira-style cooking

The comb blade scores the vegetable while the flat blade lifts the cut into strips approximately 3 mm wide. Carrot and burdock are useful starting points for a kinpira-style sauté or a vegetable side dish.

Choose manageable, firm pieces and peel away tough skin separately when needed. Prepare the strips before cooking so they can be added to the pan together, and collect each batch clear of the working area.

Keep the ingredient stable and the blade clear

Hold the broad orange handle below the cutting head and work with the vegetable securely supported. Keep fingers out of the blade path and use steady strokes rather than pressing against an unstable piece.

Pause before clearing any vegetable fibers caught in the comb blade. Use a cleaning brush instead of fingertips, and stop cutting when the remaining ingredient is too small to control safely.

Clean, dry and hang within reach

The AKP-702 is compatible with a dishwasher and dish dryer. Rinse away trapped vegetable fibers after use; when washing by hand, use mild detergent and a soft brush around the teeth.

Dry the cutting assembly and handle before storage. The opening at the end of the ABS-resin handle provides a hanging point, keeping the blade clear of other utensils and easy to locate for the next preparation task.
