@ttimomuellerr: How to grate Wasabi. The shark skin grater (Samehada Oroshi) uses its rough texture, reminiscent of shark skin, to effectively grind wasabi. The tiny "teeth" gently break down the cells, releasing the pungency and aromas optimally. Traditionally made from hard wood, the grater is robust and moisture-resistant.Water aids the grating process by moistening the wasabi and preventing overheating.The combination of rough surface, sturdy wood, and water allows for the optimal preparation of wasabi. #wasabi #howto #grate #japanesetraditional
