TURTLE GRATER
Orishigane graters are amazing. A staple in Japanese kitchens, they grate more finely than traditional Western graters and quickly reduce garlic, horseradish, daikon, radish, wasabi, lemongrass, ginger, nutmeg, and chili peppers.
Each piece is individually handmade in Saitama by Oya Seisakusho, founded in 1949. The copper is hardened by hammering, then tinned and cut into the traditional turtle shape. Finally, the teeth are hand-sawed and lifted.
The very sharp, small blades mean they cut rather than crush your ingredients, preserving texture and flavor. Rub your vegetables in a circular motion to create fine pastes.
These blades are sharp! Please handle with care.
For increased longevity, we recommend hand washing.
USAGE & CARE
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Clean and dry thoroughly after each use. Fibers may get stuck in the blades and can be removed with a brush like a toothbrush.
- If oxidation marks appear, they can be removed with a mixture of white vinegar and salt.
