5 recommended graters and graters selected by grater manufacturer craftsmen
1. Introduction: The importance of graters and graters
Graters and graters are kitchen utensils necessary for grating condiments that are added to dishes to add texture and aroma.
Speaking of condiments, typical ones are grated daikon radish, grated ginger, and grated wasabi.
When making grated radish or other condiments, the flavor and texture of the condiment can be made different depending on the type of ingredient and how coarsely the grater or grater can be used.
2. How to choose a grater or grater
When choosing a grater or grater, the main points to consider are the material and the coarseness of the mesh. The material affects durability and ease of maintenance, while the coarseness of the mesh affects the texture of the food after grating.
The grater you choose will depend on what ingredients you want to grate and how coarsely you want to grate them.
3. 5 recommended graters and graters selected by craftsmen from a grater manufacturer
Based on the above considerations, we would like to introduce our top 5 recommended graters and graters selected by craftsmen from a grater manufacturer, including shark skin graters.
1. Tsuboe's Premium Grater Series
Tsuboe Co., Ltd. is located in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, an area world-famous for its thriving metalworking and manufacturing industries. The company manufactures and sells graters using file manufacturing techniques that have been cultivated over many years.
Tsuboe's finest graters come in three types to suit different ingredients: "hako", "maruzara" (round plate for wasabi), and "kakuzara" (square plate for ginger). The material used is stainless steel, which is durable and easy to maintain.
A tool called a chisel is used to carefully carve out each hole one by one to create a grater blade.The blade is made up of a quad-tooth design that operates from four directions, allowing the blade to grate without tearing the fibers, resulting in a smooth, fine-grained grated product.

2. Pure copper grater
Oya Seisakusho Co., Ltd., which opened in Asakusa, Tokyo a long time ago, manufactures and sells graters made from pure copper.
Like Tsuboe, Oya Seisakusho Co., Ltd.'s pure copper grater has a blade that is finished with a sharp edge, and it does not crush the radish cells or separate the water and fibers, so it produces fluffy grated radish that retains plenty of moisture even after leaving it for a while.
Copper is not only durable, but also has antibacterial properties.

3. Oni-oroshi
Because it is a traditional grater, it is manufactured and sold by many manufacturers.
The name Oni-oroshi is said to come from the fact that the blades are arranged like the teeth of an ogre.
Oni-oroshi is an essential ingredient in the local Tochigi dish "shimotsukare" and the local Mie dish "garagara-oroshi," used to grate daikon radish coarsely.
4. Chojiro Shark Skin Grater
Chojiro Shark Skin Grater by World Vision Co., Ltd., which this EC site is an official distributor of, uses shark skin (strictly speaking, it is the skin of a ray, but in Japan, ray skin has long been called shark skin).
Shark skin graters first began to be produced in the Edo period. As the food culture of sushi and soba developed, grated wasabi began to be added as a condiment to dishes, and they became popular as a wasabi grater.
The surface of a shark skin grater is made of the same enamel as our teeth and is covered with hard grains called dermal denticles. When wasabi is grated, the cells are finely broken down, making it less sticky and bringing out its original flavor and spiciness.
