This unique plate grater was designed by Shinji Kasahara of Tsuboe. The piece is easy-to-use and super storable, promising to "turn cooking into a meditative and joyful activity." A great alternative to clunky and massive food graters, this product is lightweight and thin. Because of its design, it is also safer to use than the traditional grater so one shouldn't worry too much about grater-related kitchen incidents. Instead of going up and down, one needs to grate spices and vegetables with circular movements.
The plate grater by Shinji Kasahara is made out of 21/0 stainless steel, a material known for its durability. The product also features a comfortable anti-slip silicone rubber base that can be used to cover the grater when not in use.
