Fluffy and delicious grated radish

Grilled fish, meat dishes, fried foods, and grated daikon radish, which is indispensable as a complement to daily dishes. Not only the type of radish, but also the taste will change greatly depending on how you grate it. The radish grated with a grater made by Oya Seisakujo has a fluffy finish that contains plenty of water even after a while. The secret of its deliciousness lies in the finely uneven blades.



Oya Seisakujo started in 1928 in Asakusa, Tokyo, when Toraichi Oya opened a copper jar store "Doto Tora". A bronze jar is a folk tool used to make hot sake by placing it in a brazier. Since then, with the passage of time, we have focused on the manufacture of cooking utensils for use in ordinary households and restaurants, which process and manufacture copper, and have continued to make graters for Oya copper for six generations.

The characteristic of the grater of Oya Seisakujo is its blade. The craftsmen make blades on the copper plate while making a noise with a mallet and chisel one by one. Even with such fine details, it is a craftsman's skill to quickly raise the blade with good rhythm. Currently, only two graters are manufactured by hand, including Oya Seisakujo. When you actually use it, you can see how wonderful the handicraft is.

Generally, mass-produced graters have all the blades, so the fibers of the ingredients are crushed or only one surface is grated, but handmade graters have slightly irregular blade alignment. Therefore, every time you take it down, you will get various aspects. Therefore, it is not necessary to change the direction of the ingredients many times, and it can be quickly lowered with a light force. Grated radish has a fluffy finish without crushing the fibers of the radish and contains water, and when the spices such as wasabi and ginger are grated, the fibers are cut into small pieces, so the mouthfeel is mellow and the flavor is not impaired.

In addition, the copper blade is hard and sticky, so it is attractive that the blade lasts a long time. Of course, the longer you use it, the more the blade will wear and the sharpness will worsen, but if you re-sharpen it, it will return to the same state as new. It is a tool that you will want to use by putting it in the kitchen instead of throwing it away. Furthermore, copper has an antibacterial effect and is the best material for cooking utensils, so it is favored mainly by professionals.

The box-shaped grater is a set of a grater, a receiving box, and a drainer plate. The presence of the saucer increases the sense of stability and allows you to quickly and easily lower it with less force, but with the box-shaped grater from Oya Seisakujo, the dimensions of the copper plate and the edge of the saucer are made more precise. As a result, there is little gap when the copper plate is placed on the receiving box, and the loss of force due to the copper plate moving back and forth during the lowering work is prevented. An easy-to-use grater for grabbing large items such as radishes and apples. As a kitchen utensil that you can use for a long time, please choose it for your marriage or celebration of your new life.
