Tsubaya VG-1 Menkiri 270mm Ho Wood Handle
A menkiri (noodle-cutting) knife is a specialized tool designed for one satisfying task: cutting noodles. It’s wide, flat, and straight-edged—made to slice cleanly through sheets of fresh dough to create uniform strands of soba, udon, or ramen. It doesn’t show up for everything, but when you're making noodles, nothing else compares. If you’re into homemade pasta or Japanese cuisine, having one on hand turns dough prep into something almost meditative.
