Product Description

The aroma and umami of wasabi are determined by "how it's grated."

Chojiro's shark skin grater uses "real shark skin,"
which sushi chefs have continued to use.
It brings out the original aroma and smooth texture of authentic wasabi.

【Why shark skin?】

 Metal graters crush the fibers of wasabi.
As a result, the aroma is lost, and only the spiciness stands out.

On the other hand, shark skin "cuts" the fibers without crushing them, which means:
・Aroma stands out
・Less bitterness
・Smooth texture

This is why chefs choose shark skin.

【Features of Roku】

It reproduces the craftsmanship of the late Edo period, where real shark skin was fastened with rivets.
It uses the highest quality real shark skin on ebony, and each piece is finished by hand by craftsmen.

It features a stable grating feel and finish
that cannot be achieved with mass-produced products.

 【How it changes things when you use it】

Even with the same authentic wasabi, grating it with shark skin completely changes the taste.

It tightens up the overall impression of dishes
such as sashimi, soba, cold tofu, and steak.

【Size and ease of use】

The "medium" size is easy for general households to handle.

Its appropriate size makes it easy for even first-time users of shark skin graters to incorporate.

【Recommended for】

・Those who want to truly savor authentic wasabi
・Those who want to elevate the quality of their cooking
・Those looking for a genuine tool that can be used for a long time

 Just by changing your tools, your culinary experience can change this much.

Please experience "why shark skin" for yourself.

How to Grate Fresh Wasabi
1: Cut off the leafy part
2: Roughly scrape off the bumps
3: Wash with a brush
4: Grate in a circular motion starting from the leafy end

Tips
・Grate slowly in a circular motion, without applying too much force, as if drawing a "no" character.
When it becomes a fine, sticky, creamy paste, delicious wasabi is ready.

・It can be used not only for wasabi, but also for vegetables like green onions and carrots, and fruits like apples.
Since the ingredients melt like snow, becoming a light mousse-like consistency between pulp and juice,
adding it just before serving can impart a pleasant aroma and refreshing sensation to the dish.

【Precautions】
●The color may appear different from the actual product depending on your monitor.

●After each use, quickly rinse with water and dry in the shade.
If the grater board contains moisture and is used repeatedly multiple times a day,
the skin may become damp and peel off easily.
Soaking it in hot or cold water, or drying it in direct sunlight, can cause peeling.
Do not soak in water or hot water.

●If the wood and skin contain a lot of moisture daily for a long time, the shark skin or wood may be damaged.
Also, after drying, the wood part may crack or warp.
Occasionally rest the shark skin grater board and dry it in the shade.

●Real shark skin is a natural, highest quality skin, and the grain may vary slightly in some areas.

★If you use it frequently, the secret to longevity is to use two shark skin graters alternately.
