Impressively sharp, these Japanese paddle graters are perfect for use with bulb or root vegetables such as onion, garlic, wasabi, and ginger, as well as citrus rind. Handcrafted in Japan with a tagane and iron hammer, the copper oroshigane cuts fruit and vegetables’ fibers while keeping their cells intact, helping to retain their natural moisture. The intense sharpness allows you to craft rooty condiments without applying much pressure.
