High quality copper grater by Ooya Seisakusho in Turtle design. The teeth of this tinned copper grater are hand-chiselled and extremely sharp, perfect for grating fibrous roots such as ginger, wasabi, daikon or garlic etc. Each individual "tooth" of this tinned grater made of solid copper is punched out and pointed upwards using traditional handicraft techniques. Unlike conventional graters, here the vegetables are not crushed, but smoothly and finely grated, keeping the fibre and juice together and creating a pleasantly soft texture. Simply peel and grate in circular motions, a reliable kitchen helper.

To scrape off the grated food completely without hurting your fingertips, we recommend using the Japanese Bamboo Grating Brush.
