Stainless steel wasabi grater from Japan, specifically designed to help you create finely textured wasabi (25 cm x 13cm)
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.
The grater is also an excellent tool for pasting garlic and ginger.
