CL-40 Deba – compact power for working with fish

Deba is a classic, traditional Japanese kitchen knife designed for tasks that require strength, control, and precision. It is characterized by its substantial weight and a thick, wide blade that tapers toward the tip, making it ideal for heavier kitchen work.

The CL-40 is the shortest version of the Deba in this line, created specifically for preparing smaller whole fish. It excels at removing heads and tails and at guiding precise cuts along the backbone, where resistance is greatest. When proper technique is applied, the knife can also be safely used to remove and crack crab legs and claws.

The ergonomic handle, with gently rounded edges and a subtle wave along its lower profile, ensures a secure, stable grip and high working comfort—even during extended use. The blade is made from steel hardened to 60 HRC, and its exceptional sharpness and durability are the result of precise grinding and sharpening at controlled low temperatures by experienced Japanese craftsmen.

The CL-40 Deba pairs perfectly with the longer CL-65 or CL-75 versions, creating a complete setup for working with fish of various sizes.

To maintain maximum sharpness and performance, we recommend regular and proper sharpening using dedicated ceramic sharpeners. For in-person order pickups (by prior arrangement), we are happy to demonstrate correct sharpening techniques and provide tips on how to care for your knife so it retains its original quality for as long as possible.

Hirata Buns – fluffy Japanese-style steamed buns

Hirata buns are one of the most beloved street-food classics of Japanese cuisine. Soft, pillowy steamed buns filled with crisp lettuce and bold, aromatic toppings feel like a cross between a sandwich and a taco. No wonder they’ve become an icon of ramen shops and fusion kitchens. Perfect as an appetizer, a sharing dish, or a light meal.

Ingredients

Buns:

300 g all-purpose flour
3 g instant yeast
3 g baking powder
35 g sugar
a pinch of salt
170 ml warm water
sesame oil (for the dough and shaping)

Filling ideas:

grilled pork chashu
tempura shrimp
chicken karaage
Japanese mayonnaise
gochujang chili-miso or teriyaki sauce
lettuce
cucumber, sliced

Method

Make the dough
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Gradually add the warm water, mixing until you get a smooth, elastic dough—neither too wet nor too stiff.
First rise
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size. While it rises, prepare your fillings and vegetables.
Shape the buns
Lightly oil your hands and work surface with sesame oil. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each into an oval or diamond (similar to pita). Brush lightly with oil, fold each piece in half, and let rise again for 10 minutes.
Steam
Prepare a steamer. Cut 6 pieces of baking paper sized to fit the buns. Place each bun on paper and steam for about 12 minutes. Don’t overcrowd the steamer—cook in batches if needed.
Assemble and serve
Gently open the steamed buns and fill with your favorite toppings. Crispy tempura with Japanese mayo and chili-miso works beautifully, as does chashu with teriyaki sauce.

Tips

Feel free to experiment with fillings: bulgogi, chicken teriyaki, satay, or even cheese all work well.
Avoid fillings that are too dry or extremely spicy—the best results come from a balance of softness, crunch, and sauce.

Soft, aromatic, and incredibly versatile—hirata buns are sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
