Shark Skin Wasabi Grater | Handmade Oroshi | Made in Japan

Traditional Shark Skin Wasabi Graters

Traditional shark skin wasabi graters, known as "Oroshi"; are a revered Japanese culinary tool used for preparing and serving wasabi. The graters are designed to coax out the best qualities, the flavor, texture and health benefits, of the wasabi rhizomes.

Oroshi graters are made from shark skins as the abrasive texture is ideal for grating the rhizome (root) into a fine paste while maintaining its distinctive flavor and pungency. By gently grating the rhizomes they avoid the creation of excess heat, which can cause the wasabi to lose its flavor.

The shark skin is attached to a wooden base, which provides stability and support during the grating process. Serve resulting wasabi paste with sushi, sashimi or use as a condiment or in sauces. You may want to expand its application by adding it to mashed potatoes, jams and in fresh fruit salsas.

To care for your Orosohi, shark skin wasabi grater, hand wash in cold water after each use then air dry.
