Japanese Stainless Steel Stick-Style Ginger Grater
In Japan, the fine grater, or oroshigane, is the go-to tool for preparing ginger or wasabi with a light, airy texture, free of fibers that get stuck in your mouth. This pen-style version carries that same design in a stainless steel tip with fine teeth, held like a pencil to grate ginger, wasabi, or daikon directly into a cup or onto a plate. A curved edge on the back also lets you peel the ginger before grating it.
A tip from the manufacturer: grating perpendicular to the grain of the ginger gives a finer result, without the strands that sometimes get stuck between the teeth.
