Know before you buy
While it is engineered to handle the hardness of rock salt, the stainless steel construction is versatile enough to grate other hard ingredients like nutmeg or hard cheeses. However, its tooth pattern is optimized for the crystalline structure of salt.
Because it is made of high-quality stainless steel, you can simply rinse it under warm water. We recommend drying it immediately with a soft cloth to maintain the finish and prevent any mineral buildup.
The grater is crafted from rust-resistant stainless steel, which is highly durable. While it is designed to withstand moisture, it is best practice to keep it dry when not in use to ensure it remains in pristine condition for years.
The grater measures 11.5cm by 8.5cm, which provides a stable surface for grating. Its low profile and 83g weight make it easy to maneuver, though it is designed to be used on a flat surface or held securely by the edges.
Standard zesters are typically designed for soft citrus peels or delicate cheeses. This Sakai Uchihamono tool features a specialized tooth geometry specifically engineered to break down dense rock salt into a fine, uniform powder without clogging.
