KIKUSUMI OROSHI GRATER #5 Size
¥7,718
A Japanese OROSHI GRATER hand-made by an artisan in Sakai Japan. This is the tool used both by professional sushi chefs and home cooks in Japan. Each grater comes with a ceramic handle/stainless steel scraper for removing grated ingredients. Top level Japanese chefs know that hand crafted oroshi graters perform better than the polished machine made copies. The uneven rows of teeth grate ingredients in a way so juices are not separated like they are with machine made copies.
The copper kitchen grater is 2 sided (Fine + Coarse) and can be used to zest citrus, grate ginger, daikon, radish, wasabi, carrot and many other vegetables.
Once zested/grated use the scraper to “rake” the zest off of the grater with the stainless steel grater. Cleanup is easy – just rinse and air dry.
For best results when zesting move the vegetable in a circular motion against the surface of the grater. Once zested/grated use the scraper to “rake” the zest off of the grater.

CompareKikusumi OROSHI GRATER range of handcrafted copper ware is made in Sakai, Japan. Crafted one by one from a thin copper sheet that is hand hammered to add strength to the metal before it is hand cut into shape. The copper is then brushed with hot, liquid tin. Once cooled and set the artisan sets about punching the grater with a special tool that results in rows of raised teeth. This artisan technique dates back to the Edo period and yields superior grating results. Top level Japanese chefs know that hand crafted oroshi graters perform better than the polished machine made copies. The uneven rows of teeth grate ingredients in a way so juices are not separated like they are with machine made copies.
DESIGN
The OROSHI GRATER range is a collaboration between a traditional oroshi craftsman and contemporary designer Del Cook. Each grater is equally suited for both professionals and home cooks. Graters are paired with a ceramic and stainless steel scraper for “raking” grated ingredients off of the OROSHI GRATER.

USES
Designed with fine teeth on one side and coarse on the other. The unique shape and intelligently placed rows of teeth makes the grater ideal for grating ginger as the teeth crush the root to release more flavor and juice while catching tough fibers. The teeth grate on all sides, so for best results grate ingredients in a circular motion. Ideal for grating ginger, garlic, carrot, daikon, citrus rinds and wasabi/horseradish. Use the lid to keep the content fresh.
