The Japanese chef's knife, initially used on meats only. However this style is a great all rounder for quick chopping of not only meats but vegetables, herbs and fish too. The shape of the blade resembles that more of a traditional western chefs knife.

1/2 orange, sliced
1 handful fresh strawberries, halved
1 handful fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes, plenty

Instructions:
Fill a large jug halfway with ice.
Add the fruit and cucumber — layer the orange, lemon (if using), cucumber, and strawberries.

Stir gently to mix.
Add fresh mint on top and serve immediately.
