Trays & Yakumi Pans

A yakumi pan is a Japanese stainless prep pan with multiple compartments for garnishes, sauces, and small ingredients during cooking, the Japanese professional's mise en place solution. Comes in 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6-compartment formats.

The 3 or 4-compartment pan hits the sweet spot, enough separation for sauce, aromatic (ginger or garlic), herb, and garnish without taking up excessive counter space. Pros often use 6-compartment pans for complex dishes.

Yes, great for serving sushi condiments (soy, wasabi, pickled ginger), dumpling sauces, or spice sets on the dinner table. Also useful for freezing portioned stock cubes or sauce bases.

Yes, stainless steel yakumi pans are fully dishwasher safe. Hand washing extends the finish life but isn't required.

Beyond compartmented yakumi pans, we stock Japanese kitchen trays for mise en place staging, plating, and dish prep. Stainless and copper options.

The flat rectangular profile sits flat on the counter without rolling, the shallow depth means ingredients stay visible, the compartmented versions keep flavours separated, and the stainless build cleans faster than ceramic or glass alternatives.
