Oyanagi Japanese Negi Shredder

Achieving impossibly thin, thread-like ribbons of scallions at home usually requires professional knife skills—unless you use Oyanagi’s Negi Shredder. Handcrafted in Japan’s legendary metalworking region of Tsubame-Sanjo, its minimalist design pairs comb-like stainless steel teeth with a smooth magnolia wood handle. Using it couldn’t be easier: Simply drag the razor-sharp teeth down the length of a leek or scallion. In seconds, you’ll get uniform strips of allium ribbons, known as “shiraga negi” in Japanese, ready to use in spring rolls and slaws. You can pile them high on steaming bowls of ramen, noodle salads or beef rice bowls, too. In our testing, we were impressed by how cleanly the shredder’s blade sliced; it produced thin, clean strands with fewer frayed edges than mass-produced alternatives. Each tool is handcrafted, so no two are exactly alike. At just over five inches long, it slips easily into a drawer or hangs off a kitchen rail from the handle.
