Japanese Stainless Steel Shirishiri Julienne Peeler – 5 mm (0.2 in) Cut
This julienne peeler comes from the Shimomura Kogyo workshops in the Niigata region, where the art of Japanese cutlery has been passed down since 1874. Its stainless steel blade is sharpened tooth by tooth, which prevents jamming and lets you effortlessly cut carrots or daikon into julienne strips about 5 mm (0.2 in) thick. The name shirishiri is said to come from the Okinawan dialect, where it specifically refers to julienne cutting — the traditional way carrots are prepped before being stir-fried with eggs in a very popular local dish.
