Yakumi Storage Container with Lid, 300ml, 125x95x39mm
A lidded container sized for the garnishes that finish a dish, not a generic deli tub.
Why Chefs Choose This
- Right-sized for garnish: 300ml and 125mm x 95mm x 39mm, built for a station's worth of yakumi rather than bulk storage.
- Secure lid: keeps prepped ginger, spring onion or chilli covered and separated on a busy pass.
- Low, stackable profile: a shallow 39mm height that fits under a counter or in a cold-well without wasting space.
- Named container: Yakumi's own code 0338400, so reordering the exact size is straightforward.
How to Use
- Yakumi station: grated ginger, wasabi, spring onion and chilli, prepped and covered at hand.
- Sushi and noodle counters: the classic Japanese use, condiments kept fresh and covered beside the pass.
- Mise en place: any Western kitchen's small prepped garnishes, herbs or seasonings needing a lid.
- Fridge storage: stacks cleanly in a cold-well or walk-in without lids popping off loose ingredients.
Yakumi (薬味) literally means "medicine flavour", the term for the small condiments and garnishes, ginger, spring onion, chilli, citrus zest, that season and finish a Japanese dish rather than form its base. This container is sized for exactly that job, a small covered vessel to keep yakumi fresh and organised at the point of service rather than buried in a larger tub.
What is yakumi in Japanese cooking?
Yakumi are the small, pungent condiments added at the table or on the pass to finish a dish, things like grated ginger, wasabi, spring onion, shichimi or citrus zest. They are added in small amounts for a specific lift rather than as a main flavour, which is why a dedicated small lidded container, rather than a deep tub, is the right format to prep and hold them in.
