It is a material rarely associated with everyday cooking in France, yet here it is the key to achieving such precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy an oroshigane instead of a classic grater?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine copper spikes separate the flesh of the ingredient without crushing it, whereas a classic grater mostly produces a coarse purée. For ingredients used in small quantities, such as ginger or wasabi, this difference in texture truly changes the result on the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy I chose it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"What I liked about this grater is that it turns a very simple action into something much more precise. When I discovered the oroshigane, I was especially struck by its finesse: you aren't just grating an ingredient, you are aiming for the ideal texture. It is typically the kind of Japanese utensil I love at Dogou: a very simple object whose design actually changes the result.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou will love it if\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eyou regularly cook with ginger, fresh wasabi, garlic, or yuzu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eyou are as sensitive to texture as you are to taste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eyou appreciate simple objects whose design changes the result\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eyou are prepared for attentive maintenance: rinsing in warm water and drying immediately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\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\n\u003cli\u003eyou are looking for a utensil you can wash without a second thought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eyou primarily grate large quantities of vegetables or cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eyou prefer a stainless steel utensil, which is more forgiving in terms of maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn practice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions 12 × 14 × 10 cm, 25 cm with handle. Double-sided for fine or coarse grating. Grate in the direction of the fibers to preserve the blade. Rinse in warm water and dry immediately to avoid oxidation. Polish occasionally with a soft cloth to maintain the copper's shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn object designed to last\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper is a noble material that develops a patina over time without losing its qualities, provided it is cared for with diligence. Made in Japan, this double-sided grater is built to last much longer than a plastic or low-end stainless steel grater, provided you give it the same care you would a good copper pan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ebematsushoji","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51892813398349,"sku":"RAP-001","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0902\/4071\/3037\/files\/Rape-a-cuivre-1.png?v=1785663512","url":"https:\/\/dogou.fr\/en\/products\/rape-japonaise-pour-gingembre-radis-et-wasabi","provider":"Dogou","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
