The oroshigane grater, also known as oroshiki, is widely used in Japanese cooking and is a staple in professional kitchens. It grates more finely than typical western graters and is able to reduce even hard fruit and vegetables to a fine material. The grater makes short work of garlic, ginger or chillies and is large enough for any citrus fruit. It is beautifully packaged with a rather stylish black and white aesthetic. This is a larger version, referred to as a size 5.
