The Mise en Place Tray Trusted by Two- and Three-Star Kitchens
A yakumi tray is where a Japanese kitchen keeps its garnishes in order: grated ginger, wasabi, sliced spring onion, momiji-oroshi, each in its own tin, each within reach through service. This is the eight-tin set, Japanese-made in stainless steel, and chefs who run one on the line include Sat Bains (2 Michelin stars) and Brett Graham of The Ledbury (3 stars). The outer frame measures 435 x 145mm and holds eight removable tins, so you can lift one out to refill or wash without breaking down the rest of the line.
Why Chefs Choose This
- Service-ready mise en place: eight tins keep garnishes and condiments separated and within reach, so the line stays fast and clean
- Proven in serious kitchens: Yakumi pans are used by kitchens including Restaurant Story, Le Manoir, Ikoyi and Paul Ainsworth at Number 6, with this eight-tin set bought by Sat Bains and The Ledbury
- Stainless and hard-wearing: Japanese-made stainless steel that wipes clean and stands up to daily commercial use
- Modular tins: lift out a single tin to refill, swap or wash without disturbing the rest of the set
How to Use
- Counter garnishes: hold yakumi such as grated ginger, wasabi, spring onion and momiji-oroshi at the sushi counter
- Prep station: organise chopped aromatics, citrus zest, chilli and finishing salts for the line
- At the pass: keep micro-herbs and finishing garnishes sorted and quick to plate
- Beyond Japanese: any station that needs small components kept apart, from a garnish rail to a cocktail bar
What yakumi means
Yakumi (薬味) translates literally as medicine flavour, from yaku (薬, medicine) and mi (味, flavour). It is the Japanese term for the small aromatic condiments served alongside a dish to sharpen and balance it: grated ginger and wasabi, sliced spring onion, shiso, momiji-oroshi (grated daikon with chilli), shichimi and yuzu zest. The idea is that the right garnish lifts a dish the way a remedy settles the body. Because these condiments are prepared fresh and used in small amounts, a Japanese kitchen keeps them sorted in a dedicated tray at the point of service, which is exactly what this set is built for.

What is a yakumi tray used for?
A yakumi tray holds prepared condiments and garnishes in separate compartments so a chef can finish dishes quickly and consistently during service. On a sushi counter it keeps ginger, wasabi and spring onion to hand; on a hot line it organises chopped aromatics, zest, chilli and salts for mise en place. The removable tins mean each garnish can be prepped, chilled and refilled on its own, and the whole set wipes down fast at the end of service. It is one of those quiet pieces of kit that makes a station run faster without anyone noticing it is there.

What is a yakumi pan set made of?
This set is Japanese-made stainless steel: an outer frame holding eight removable inner tins. Stainless steel is the standard for this kind of kit because it is non-reactive with acidic and salty condiments, easy to sanitise, and durable enough for daily service. The tins lift out individually for filling and washing, and the whole set wipes clean quickly. There is no coating to wear off, so it holds up over years of commercial use.
Can you buy replacement tins for the yakumi set?
Yes. The small inner tins are sold separately, so you can replace a damaged or lost tin, or add spares to rotate prepped garnishes in and out of the fridge during service. The spare small yakumi tins match the 105 x 67 x 57mm tins in this eight-tin set. Keeping a few spares means you can swap a full tin straight onto the line rather than stopping to refill.
Which yakumi tray size should I choose?
It depends on how many garnishes a station runs. This eight-tin set suits a busy sushi counter or a hot line carrying a wide range of condiments. For a smaller station, or where bench space is tight, the three-tin yakumi set covers the essentials in a more compact footprint. Many kitchens run the eight-tin set on the main pass and a three-tin set on a secondary station.
