Sustainable Stainless Steel Wasabi Grater - Hagane Zame REGULAR - Grate Wasabi, Garlic, Ginger, Apples, Fruits, Vegetables, Creamy Texture/Kinjirushi Wasabi (Reguar, 6.8 inch x 3.3 inch)

I spent some time online researching the best tool for grating ginger which I use for preparing various Asian dishes. After reading numerous reviews on a number of different graters, the Kinjirushi Steel Shark Wasabi Grater seemed like the tool best designed for my needs, but I was hesitant to spend the premium price on such a small and simple tool. However, after receiving the grater and sampling a piece of ginger on it, I had no reservations. The quality and the performance was exactly what I was looking for.What I especially like about this grater, is that it produces a creamy texture as the ginger is rubbed in a circular motion on the textured surface. There is no actual grated pieces of ginger but rather a creamy mush of sorts which easily blends with the sauces I make with it. I tried a single clove of garlic on it and it produced a wonderful cream of garlic that easily blended.I purchased the smaller size and find it perfect for home use. It comes with a small bamboo "brush" which I used to transfer the grated ginger and garlic to the sauce from the textured surface. Cleaning was as simple as running the grater under hot water. There was very little waste of product since I was able to hold the garlic and ginger until it was a little nub, without fear of hurting my fingertips.

Works much better than other graters and is surprisingly worth the money

Love the creamy texture it produces. Easy to use and clean.

Got this as a gift for a family member who likes to grate fresh wasabi and ginger when possible and they absolutely love it. Had seen this metal grater being used on a few different media programs, so was happy to seeing it being available for purchase. It works very well and is able to be cleaned just as easily. Definitely worth the price and definitely recommend it for anyone that is a fan of Asian cuisine or just good, grated root dishes.

If you grate real wasabi frequently, this is the best option bar none. It grates it twice as fast and does so more finely thank sharkskin or cheapo small metal graters, creating a much creamier texture. Pricey, but worth it (which, if you're buying wasabi roots to begin with, the price probably won't bother you anyways).Also very easy to clean. Just run some water on it, air dry the grating area, and store.I would recommend getting the smaller one instead of the larger one. Aside from being a third of the cost, the extra real estate to grind on is totally unnecessary.
