The oni oroshi (鬼おろし, literally the \"demon's grater\") does the opposite: its teeth, larger and more widely spaced than a classic grater's, deliberately give a coarse result. The grated daikon is crunchier and less watery than with a fine grater, sought after for mizore-nabe (a nabe with grated daikon), or to accompany a hambagu or karaage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy wood rather than bamboo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oni oroshi is most often made of bamboo. This one follows the same principle, with zigzag-cut teeth that differ from one row to the next, assembled between two screwed side uprights, but in solid hinoki wood, a dense, low-porosity wood traditionally used in Japan for kitchen utensils (cutting boards, chopsticks) for its resistance to moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou will love it if\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eyou cook daikon regularly and want a crunchy oroshi rather than a wet one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eyou make mizore-nabe, hambagu or karaage and want the traditional accompaniment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eyou like solid wood utensils with no metal parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is probably not for you if\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eyou want a fine, smooth texture: look at a classic oroshigane instead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eyou mostly grate ginger, garlic or wasabi in small quantities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eyou prefer a utensil that goes in the dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn practice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions 33.5 × 13.2 × 2.3 cm.
