Description

This small pure copper grater was specially made for grating ginger. It uses a thick copper plate with sharp blades to allow for smooth grating of even hard ginger. It prevents tangling of the ginger fibers, bringing out the full aroma and spiciness. Its size makes it convenient for grating condiments at the table.

Materials & Care

Materials

  • Copper

Care

After use, rinse it promptly with water and do not use a cloth (as fibers will get caught in the blade). Instead, pour hot water over it and dry it using the residual heat. If vegetable fibers are difficult to remove, it is convenient to rinse them off with an old toothbrush. If the blade becomes dull, you can have it resharpened by a craftsman (for a fee).

About the workshop

Oya Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Saitama Prefecture

Oya Seisakusho, located in Wako City, Saitama Prefecture, continues to make copper graters using techniques handed down since ancient times. Craftsmen hammer the copper plates to harden them, then manually sharpen each blade. These slightly uneven blades are the secret to smoothly grating ingredients without having to turn them. They can also be sharpened by scraping off the old blade and creating a new one, creating tools that can be used for a lifetime and passed down from parent to child, and from child to grandchild.
