Japanese mandoline slicers delivering professional precision and sustainable reliability.

Benriner

Benriner has operated as the premier manufacturer of Japanese mandoline slicers since its founding in 1940. Based in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, the company was established by Uyuki Yamamoto, who invented a specialized radish slicer to meet the precision demands of Japanese cuisine. Originally crafted from wood, the brand transitioned to high-quality plastic in 1969 to allow for mass production and improved hygiene. Today, Benriner is a global standard in the professional culinary industry, providing lightweight and exceptionally sharp tools that serve as a compact alternative to traditional French mandolines.

The brand is internationally recognized for its handcrafted Japanese stainless steel blades, which are heat-treated and finished by hand to achieve an edge comparable to a professional chef's knife. Their core product line is categorized by width: the No. 64 (Classic), the No. 95 (Super), and the No. 120 (Jumbo). These units feature a unique thickness adjustment dial that allows for near-infinite control, ranging from paper-thin 0.5 mm slices to 8 mm planks. Most models come equipped with three interchangeable julienne blades—fine, medium, and coarse—enabling chefs to quickly produce elegant garnishes, matchstick vegetables, or chunky stir-fry cuts with total uniformity.

In professional kitchens, Benriner slicers (frequently referred to by chefs as "Bennies") are valued for their small footprint and mechanical simplicity. Unlike bulky metal mandolines, the Benriner’s slim profile allows it to be easily stored in a knife roll or drawer, making it an essential tool for high-volume prep work and tableside service. The design includes a built-in safety guard and a non-skid rubber base, as well as a specialized notch that allows the slicer to hook securely onto the rim of a bowl to collect ingredients. This focus on ergonomics and efficiency has made the brand a staple in every sector of the hospitality industry, from casual cafes to Michelin-starred establishments.

The strategic value of Benriner lies in its commitment to sustainability and long-term reliability through a fully replaceable part system. Every component—from the main slicing blade and julienne inserts to the adjustment screws—is available for individual purchase, ensuring that the equipment can be maintained for decades rather than being replaced. By combining traditional Japanese blade-making heritage with modern material science, Benriner provides a high return on investment and a reliable foundation for any culinary professional focused on precision and speed.
