Product Description

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

Chojiro's sharkskin grater uses "real sharkskin," which sushi chefs have favored for generations.
It brings out the true aroma and smooth texture of genuine wasabi.

【Why sharkskin?】

 Metal graters crush wasabi fibers.
As a result, the aroma dissipates, leaving only the spiciness.

In contrast, sharkskin "cuts" the fibers without crushing them, resulting in:
・Enhanced aroma
・Reduced bitterness
・Smooth texture

This is why chefs choose sharkskin graters.

 【Features of Samekyu】

 Samekyu uses carefully selected genuine sharkskin, with each grater finished by hand by artisans.

It offers a consistent grating experience and finish that mass-produced items cannot replicate.

It was created to be easy to use as a souvenir.

 【How it changes your experience】

Even with the same genuine wasabi, grating it with sharkskin completely transforms the taste.

It elevates the overall impression of dishes like sashimi, soba, cold tofu, and steak.

【Size and ease of use】

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

Its appropriate size allows even those new to sharkskin graters to easily incorporate it into their cooking.

【Recommended for】

・Those who want to truly savor genuine wasabi
・Those who want to elevate the quality of their cooking
・Those looking for authentic tools that last a long time

 Just changing your tools can transform your dining experience this much.

Experience "why sharkskin" for yourself.

How to Grate Fresh Wasabi
1: Scrape off the leafy part
2: Roughly trim the knobby parts
3: Wash with a scrubbing brush
4: Grate in a circular motion, starting from the leaf end

Tips
・Grate gently, slowly moving in a circular "no" shape.
When it becomes a fine, creamy paste with stickiness, delicious wasabi is ready.

・Can be used not only for wasabi but also for vegetables like green onions and carrots, and fruits like apples.
The ingredients melt like snow, becoming a light mousse-like texture between fruit pulp and juice.
Adding it just before serving gives a pleasant aroma and refreshing sensation.

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

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

●If the wood and skin remain damp for extended periods every day, the sharkskin and wood may be damaged.
Also, after drying, the wood part may crack or warp.
Occasionally let the sharkskin grater rest and dry it in the shade.

●Genuine sharkskin is a natural, premium material, and the texture may vary slightly in some areas.

★If you use it frequently, using two sharkskin graters alternately is the secret to making them last longer.
