Japanese Cutting/Peeling Techniques

Kushigata-giri (wedges)

Cut spherical vegetables, such as onions, tomatoes, and lemons, into quarters lengthwise. The shape is similar to kushi (Japanese hair combs), hence the name. Cut first into half, place cut side down, and cut into 4-8 wedges. For a clean edge to the wedge, cut with the skin/rind side down.
