Stainless steel wasabi grater from Japan, specifically designed to help you create finely textured wasabi (12cm x 7.5cm)
Breaking wasabi down at the cellular level is vital to bring together compounds that are held in different parts of the cell. The enzyme reaction that results is responsibile for both flavour and pungency, this will peak after 5-7 mins, hold for 15 mins then slowly reduce. For this reason wasabi is served at the table and grated little and often. A wasabi grater brush will help you mix the wasabi and gather all of the valuable paste from the grater.
Customer Reviews
I was a little sceptical at first as to why I needed one of these but they create a very fine paste that other graters can manage. I will need to try it out with other things such as garlic, ginger turmeric etc to see what that produces.
Thanks Ron, yes they are brilliant graters - essential for wasabi as you say - and also work really well for garlic, ginger etc :)
Great quality. Small, but but a perfect size for the job.
Sturdy and surprisingly weighty for its size.
Genuinely made in Japan and the quality shows.
I love this little grater!
Thanks Nick, it works brilliantly with garlic and ginger too!
Excellent little grater, perfect for fresh wasabi!
Thanks Ben, the grater also works wonders on ginger & garlic :)
