Green Onion Cutter

The Naganégi Cutter (長ねぎカッター) is a traditional Japanese long onion cutter for making thin shredded “shiraganegi” (white hair onions), used as garnish in ramen, soba, or cold tofu dishes. The serrated blade easily slices through the outer layers of long green onions to create fine, elegant strands. After slicing, soaking briefly in water helps achieve a crisp texture. Suitable for use with Japanese, Chinese, and fusion dishes.
