Samurai, Japanese Mandolin Slicer (Adjustable)

Fast, Even Slices and Julienne, Every Time

The Japanese mandolin is one of the great prep workhorses, and this Samurai is the classic Benriner-style design that professional kitchens reach for. A razor-sharp stainless blade and an adjustable thickness setting let you turn out perfectly uniform slices, from translucent for a gratin or salad to chunkier for pickles, and a set of teeth handle fine julienne. It is quick, precise and consistent in a way that is hard to match by knife at speed, and it comes with a hand guard to keep fingers clear of the blade.

万能野菜調理器 — The all-purpose Japanese slicer

The Japanese mandolin, often called by the famous brand name Benriner, earned its place in kitchens worldwide by doing one thing supremely well: producing fast, even, repeatable cuts. Where a knife relies entirely on the cook's hand, the mandolin's fixed, adjustable blade guarantees consistency, which matters when you need fifty identical slices for a gratin, even rounds for pickling, or fine julienne for a garnish. Compact and quick to set up, it is the tool you reach for whenever uniformity and speed matter more than the showmanship of the knife.

What can I make with it?

Plenty. Wafer-thin potato for crisps and gratins, even cucumber and radish for salads and pickles, fine julienne of carrot or daikon for garnish, and neat rounds of onion. Anything that benefits from uniform thickness, in quantity, is a job for the mandolin. Always use the hand guard, especially as you near the end of the vegetable.
