Product Description
In the collegial world of competitive leek farming, innovation counts. Growers seek efficiencies and new ways. All over Japan, passionate producers in rival regions work hard to seize the 'famous negi' crown that leads to greater demand and higher prices.
There's experimentation, perspiration, collaboration. Being Japan, it's a team effort. The prefectural government, the city, local growers and their support networks - including blacksmiths of course - work together to win. There's no standing still.
Yashima Nogyo Kogyo's shironegi-bocho leek knife has a part to play. The 36cm blade length doubles as an on-the-spot negi measure. This industry standard leek-length and perfect leaf-end presentation demand consistency and the cleanest possible cut.
One box, twelve negi, a single untroubled slice. One beautiful moment in time.
