Rakuraku Grater

The Marusan Rakuraku Grater is a traditional handmade wooden Japanese kitchen tool designed for effortless grating of daikon radish, ginger, wasabi, carrots, apples, and other ingredients. Its name “Rakuraku” translates to “easy and comfortable,” reflecting the smooth and efficient grating experience it delivers.

Crafted with fine, sharp stainless-steel teeth (or ceramic variations, depending on the model), it transforms even firm vegetables into a delicate paste with minimal effort. Unlike Western box graters, the Rakuraku grater is typically flat or slightly concave, giving greater control, precision, and safety during use. The grater also includes a groove on each side to fit over a bowl rim, offering greater stability and balance when in use. 

Lightweight, compact, and highly effective, this traditional grater is a must-have for preparing Japanese dishes such as daikon oroshi (grated daikon) for tempura, ginger pastes for sauces, or fresh wasabi for sushi. The Japanese Rakuraku Grater combines simplicity, precision, and ease of use - making it an essential tool for home or professional chefs who value both tradition and efficiency.

Please note, as this grater is handmade, variances and small imperfections may occur.
