Japanese Vegetable Slicer VS-101 - Adjustable Mandoline Slicer

Six cutting styles. One precision tool. Made in Japan's metalworking capital.

Most mandoline slicers do one thing adequately. The VS-101 does six things exceptionally — and it does them with the precision you'd expect from Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata, the region that has supplied Japan's professional kitchens with blades and metalwork for centuries.

Whether you're making paper-thin daikon for sashimi, julienne strips for a stir-fry, or decorative garnishes for a dinner party, the VS-101 gives you the control to do it consistently, safely, and quickly.

Six cutting styles in one tool:

• Slice — adjustable 0.5–2.0mm thickness for everything from cucumber to courgette
• Julienne — fine matchstick strips for salads and stir-fries
• Tsumakiri — traditional Japanese decorative shredding
• Ken — ultra-fine shreds for sashimi garnish
• Sasagaki — shaving cuts for burdock root and similar vegetables
• Mince — fine chopping for herbs and aromatics

Built for precision and safety:

• Stainless steel blades — sharp, durable, and easy to clean
• Adjustable thickness dial: 0.5–2.0mm in precise increments
• Safe holder included — essential for nagaimo, small onions, and other slippery or awkward vegetables
• ABS and AS resin body — lightweight yet rigid, dishwasher-safe components
• Compact at 330 × 110 × 30mm, 308g — stores flat in any kitchen drawer

Why this, not a cheaper slicer:

Budget mandolines flex under pressure, produce uneven cuts, and dull quickly. The VS-101 is engineered in Tsubame-Sanjo — the same region that supplies blades to Japan's Michelin-starred restaurants — with tolerances that keep every slice consistent from the first cut to the last.

Perfect for:

• Japanese home cooking — daikon, gobo, nagaimo, lotus root
• Salads, slaws, and stir-fries requiring uniform cuts
• Sushi and sashimi garnishes
• Serious home cooks who want professional results
• A considered gift for anyone who loves cooking or Japanese kitchenware
