🔪 TSUBOE Japanese Copper Grater DO-070 Mini: Authentic Small Kitchen Tool, Japan Import Review

Perfect for garlic and ginger, but not great for zest. Easier to clean than you think. Super cut on my little spice rack next to the stove.

In the picture it looks more than twice the size it actually is. Very disappointed but the thickness and quality are good but I really wanted a much bigger grater. There is already one in this size.☹️

The nearest Asian market is a few hours away so I decided to order this. BUT, if you are considering buying this, BUYERS BEWARE, this grater is very small, 2 1/4" x 4" and expensive. It almost looks like something you could attach to a keychain! Ginger graters look like this grater but are usually larger and not as expensive.

This grater is very small. I don't know what I was expecting, but it looked bigger in the photo! Having used it a few times I can now fully appreciate its size and realize that instead of a much larger grater that would scatter garlic or ginger all over the place when I grate it and which would be harder to clean, a smaller one Grate something like this forces you to work in a smaller area.
