Best Sushi Knives
Five home-use knives ranked by slicing performance, value, maintenance, and beginner friendliness.
What readers use most
The rice ratio is the quiet engine of the site
Four tablespoons rice vinegar, two tablespoons sugar, and one teaspoon salt per two cups of uncooked rice. That ratio is the fix behind most better rolls.
How this site works
Useful sushi advice has to survive the kitchen
I am not writing restaurant theory. I am writing what actually helps when the rice is cooling, the nori is open, and your first roll is trying to fall apart.
Tested where possible
Products are bought, used over months, and clearly separated from research-only evaluations.
Data over opinions
Reviews aggregate Amazon patterns, Reddit community notes, YouTube tests, and manufacturer specs.
Written for home cooks
The advice assumes a normal kitchen, a normal budget, and sushi made on a weekend evening.
Updated regularly
Finished pages show a last-updated date and get revisited as prices, products, and advice change.
About Clare
A home sushi maker, not a brand mouthpiece
I am a home cook who has been making sushi weekly since 2021. I started Sushi Planet after spending too long reading product reviews that were obviously written by people who had never rolled a single piece of maki. I write every guide, test products hands-on when possible, and say clearly when a recommendation is research-based.
