Vegetable Sheeter

[DS~HHI]

I love sushi and often marvel how the better of the itamaes will spin daikon on the edge of their knives creating long, paper-thin sheets. I unfortunately possess neither the knife skills nor the patience to produce those sheets.

Does anyone know where I can get a vegetable sheeter? I have a turning vegetable slicer; looking for a sheeter. I did find one at J B Prince, but it's over $200. Thanks!!

I found one, but it was over 8,500 dollars. o_o. Whenever I make sushi, I just cut salmon or raw lobster meat into strips, put it onto rice topped seawead, make long strips of vegetables like carrots or daikon radish with a thin vegetable peeler. Then I serve it with a spicy garlic sauce- but that's a little off-topic. Is that what you are talking about? Or is it something totally different? If I were you, I would just use a vegetable peeler. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. xP. Still turns out delicious, though.

The technique the OP is talking about is the one whereby you have a peeled and trimmed daikon and then you make a large thin sheet of daikon by holding it vertically in your hand, the knife held vertically in the other and then you slowly "peel" the outside of the daikon, but without tearing it or turning it into more than one piece. Alas, I have no idea what sort of machines make these sorts of things and where to get one.
