Professional Japanese kitchen tools, curated, tested, and invented by someone who's spent the hours on the line. From our flagship Kappa Kanpeki to imported knives and precision equipment.
Born from 14-hour shifts and 30 cucumbers that needed peeling. The Kappa Kanpeki clips to your knife, makes cucumber prep three times faster, and keeps every sheet the same thickness from the first cut to the last. Paper-thin sheets for maki, tsuma and precision presentations.
Every product here is one we would use in our own kitchen, from imported Japanese knives to our own SSC inventions.
"I looked down at 30 whole cucumbers that needed to be peeled as thin as possible. I thought there must be a better way."
Smart Sushi Chef started in a kitchen during a 14-hour shift. Ethan, a sushi chef and tool inventor, built the Kappa Kanpeki because he needed it. Then his colleagues needed it. Then chefs across Europe started asking for it.
Every product in this store is one Ethan has personally used and tested. If it's here, it's because a working chef needed it and it performed.
Read the Full StoryI've worked with Smart Sushi Chef for several years and highly recommend their web shop. Their products are reliable, well-selected, and perfectly adapted to professionals working with Japanese cuisine. A serious, specialized supplier.
They make a sushi chef's work so much easier and save so much time on cutting ingredients! I order a lot and often, because our whole team uses them, and even chefs with 20 years of experience have appreciated their convenience and ask me to order them for themselves too.
Very good quality plastic platter. I used it to participate in Sushi Cup Bulgaria, it brings me second place.
