Remove the Stem: Insert the tip of a sharp knife diagonally around the stem and carefully notch it while turning the kabocha. Lift the bottom of the stem with the knife and remove it.
Cut in Half: Place the knife where the stem was, hold it steady, and gently push through the squash. Turn it over and repeat on the other side to cut it in half.
Quarter the Kabocha: Insert the knife into the flesh and slowly push down to cut the squash into quarters. Remove the seeds and pulp.
Cut into Pieces: Slice the quarters into large chunks, cubes, dice, slices, or sticks, depending on the dish you're preparing.
