TURTLE GRATER

The Orishigane graters are wonderful. 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 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 shape of a traditional turtle. Finally, the teeth are hand-sawn and lifted.

The very sharp and small blades mean they cut rather than crush your food, thus preserving texture and flavour. Rub your vegetables in a circular motion to make fine pastes.

These blades are sharp! Take care.

For longer life, we recommend hand washing.

 

USE & CARE

  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Clean and dry well after each use. Fibres may remain stuck in the blades; they can be removed with a brush such as a toothbrush.
  • If rust marks appear, they can be removed with a mixture of white vinegar and salt.
