H. Paddle Grater & Bamboo Brush, Made in Japan

Paste. The way Japanese cooking has always intended. This is not a Microplane. This Japanese grater (oroshigane) works differently: the ultra-fine, non-perforated surface breaks down cell walls as you grate, turning ginger, garlic, daikon, or wasabi into a smooth, moisture-rich paste — releasing natural juices and compounds in a way that no knife can replicate. Daikon oroshi neutralises heavy flavours in grilled meats and fried food. Grated apple and onion tenderise and sweeten marinades and salad dressings. Grated ginger and turmeric goes directly into dressings, sauces, and soups without leaving fibrous chunks behind. Freshly grated garlic and onion release far more flavour and juice than pre-chopped — a little goes a long way. Rany’s Tip: Squeeze the ginger paste. You'll be surprised how much juice comes out of just 1cm of ginger root — divine in drinks, marinades, and dressings.
