This handmade oroshigane grater has a fine and a coarse side and can be used for many purposes.
Unlike modern 'plane' style graters, the oroshigane does not cleanly cut the material, but scratches the product to produce more surface area and therefore aroma. It is able to create different textures depending on the pressure applied and the time spent grating.
Traditionally used for grating foods like radishes, wasabi and ginger, it also works magically on citrus fruits, garlic and aged parmesan.
