Sakai Takayuki Takohiki 270mm
堺孝行 — 堺 (Sakai)
$160 / ¥24,000
The takohiki is the Kanto (Tokyo) region's answer to the yanagiba — a sashimi knife with a flat, squared-off tip instead of a pointed one. Sakai Takayuki's version uses White #2 steel for exceptional sharpness. The flat tip excels at corner cuts and decorative sashimi presentation styles unique to Tokyo's Edomae sushi tradition.
