Know before you buy
Unlike metal graters that use sharp teeth to slice, this ceramic grater uses a rough, textured surface to pulverize ingredients. This creates a finer, more consistent paste that is ideal for fibrous ingredients like ginger and wasabi.
Yes, the integrated silicone base provides excellent grip on most countertop surfaces. It keeps the grater stable while you apply the necessary pressure to grate ingredients, preventing it from slipping during the process.
The Small size is perfect for individual portions of wasabi or ginger. The Medium is a versatile all-rounder for daily cooking, while the Large size is best if you frequently grate larger quantities of radish or other vegetables for family meals.
The grater is crafted from durable, high-quality ceramic designed for regular kitchen use. While it is robust, it should still be handled with the same care as your other ceramic dinnerware to avoid impact damage.
Yes, the Motoshige grater is fully dishwasher safe. Because the surface is ceramic, it also rinses clean very easily under running water if you prefer to wash it by hand.
