Japanese Chef
"Smart Sushi Chef represents a pinnacle of excellence in the culinary world. I'm thrilled to be collaborating on this vibrant project, which brings authentic Japanese tools, self-made objects, and unique products to chefs worldwide. It's an exciting venture that truly honors the spirit of Japanese culinary craftsmanship."
As a Filipino Sushi Chef in Italy, I’ve always admired the quality of Japanese tools—many of which are hard to find in Europe. That’s why I’m proud to partner with Smart Sushi Chef, a brand that brings authentic Japanese culinary equipment to chefs worldwide. This collaboration reflects my passion for Japanese cuisine and commitment to professional tools that truly elevate the craft.
Our Story
I'm Ethan, a sushi enthusiast since childhood. My love for sushi led me to Tokyo during my studies, where I ate at a different sushi restaurant almost every day. Returning home, local sushi just wasn’t the same anymore. So, I began to teach myself the art of sushi, which is much easier said than done. After years of experience in Europe’s best sushi restaurants, my skills began to improve. Along the way, I encountered problems with the status quo, which inspired me to create the Kappa Kanpeki. Now, I aim to share my inventions, easing sushi preparation while honoring Japanese traditions that inspire me.

Kappa Kanpeki will work with most dense cylindrical vegetables: Cucumbers, Daikon Radish, Apples, Potatoes, Zucchini, and Eggplant are the most common we use it with, but feel free to test it with others! It is important that whatever you cut is firm and not too soft, otherwise it may be more difficult.

Kappa Kanpeki works best with single bevel Japanese style knives like Usuba or Yanagiba. However, it should work with any sufficiently long and sharp knife! Test out a few of your knives and let us know which works best!

We take a lot of inspiration from Japanese culture here at Smart Sushi Chef, and “Kappa Kanpeki” is no different. Translated from Japanese, it means “Perfect Cucumber”.
