More Details
Tsubamesanjo
Located in Niigata Prefecture, Tsubamesanjo is one of Japan’s foremost centers of metal craftsmanship. The tradition began in the early Edo period, when local farmers began forging nails, forming a community of skilled metalworkers. Renowned for producing durable, finely crafted kitchenware and blades, the region now excels in stainless-steel kitchen tools, hand-hammered copperware, and finely sharpened knives. Each piece reflects generations of craftsmanship, admired for its enduring quality and precision.
Grater
Graters are essential kitchen tools to process ginger, wasabi, daikon, and mountain yam for Japanese condiments and recipes. Japanese hand graters are typically made from copper, aluminum, wood with sharkskin, stainless steel, or ceramic. They have sharp grating edges to help breakdown tough fibers, especially those in ginger and wasabi. These grating edges are either small or large to produce a coarse or fine texture for Japanese recipes.
