Snow Beech Kitchen Tools:

Code: Asakura-01118

Crafted by Asakura Kagu in Niigata, Japan, this unique kitchen tool is designed to simplify the preparation of fresh condiments and seasonings.

Made from Snow Beech sourced from Uonuma, Niigata, the stick utilises the natural hardness and resilience of the wood to grate ingredients such as ginger, garlic, and wasabi with surprising ease.

The ergonomic shape provides a comfortable grip, allowing ingredients to be grated with minimal effort while maintaining excellent control.

More than just a grating tool, it can also be used to scrape grated ingredients directly from the work surface and mix them into sauces, soups, dressings, or hot pots without reaching for additional utensils. The blade-free design makes it comfortable and safe to use, while the reverse side can be used for light cutting tasks when required.

  • Size: Approx. L17.5 x D30 x H18 cm
  • Material: Snow Beech Wood (Uonuma, Niigata)
  • Finish: Urethane Coating
  • Designed for Ginger, Garlic, Wasabi, and Other Aromatics
  • Grates, Scrapes, and Mixes with a Single Tool

A thoughtfully designed kitchen tool that transforms a simple piece of wood into a versatile companion for everyday cooking.
