Grated grater partner

A small companion for your kitchen.

While heating the pot, the moment you think, "I wish I could add a little bit of ginger today," quickly pull out this grater.

It's easy to grip and you can grate spices smoothly without using much force. Its light presence gently adds to the simple joy of preparing food.

The texture and functionality of natural wood combined

This grater is made from snow beech (beech) wood from Uonuma, Niigata Prefecture. Taking advantage of the hard and resilient properties of the wood, it has been given fine indentations rather than blades, allowing it to grate garlic and ginger perfectly. Because it has no blades, there is less risk of injury, and the flat surface on the back makes it great for use as a mini cutting board for chopping small condiments.

Lightweight, safe, and designed for long-lasting use

The long, slender handle makes it easy to grip and allows for light grating. The urethane coating makes it easy to clean.

If you wipe it off immediately after washing it with water, the wood will not deform easily and you can continue to use it for a long time. Because it is made of natural wood, the difference in color and grain of each piece is one of the charms .

Craftsmanship that conveys a passion for the region and wood

Asakura Furniture, the maker of this "partner," is a Niigata-based manufacturer that continues to produce furniture and miscellaneous goods.
They are a manufacturer with a strong commitment to materials and are actively involved in forest management through thinning and other measures, with a spirit of sustainable manufacturing behind them.
Just by using it, you can feel the richness of the connection between trees, people, and the community .
