9 Best Tried and True Japanese Daikon Radish Graters (Oni-Oroshi) in 2022 (Yamaki, Manyo, and More)

This grater has everything you want in a great product. Most importantly, it made grated daikon with a soft yet crunchy texture and brought out the spiciness of the Japanese radish perfectly. 

It's also easy to use, with a thick handle that fits your hand nicely, and it's long enough to allow for large strokes across the bamboo teeth. 

The wide spacing of the blades means washing it is a breeze. The bamboo and wood don't splinter and seem like they will last a long time. We can recommend this grater with confidence!

The shallow and wide teeth make grating a snap. The thick handle also helps to make this one so easy to use. We didn't have to push hard to get crisp, fresh grated daikon. 

And even better, it's simple to wash- the blades are sharp but won't catch on a sponge (or hurt your fingers!) A quick rinse with water is enough to clean it.

This grater has a flat design, which not only fits in your hand perfectly, but makes it easy to store. The grated radish came out a uniform texture with perfect moisture balance. 

It was easy to hold and the daikon slid across the teeth with hardly any effort. We also liked that it was made with very few screws which could rust or collect dirt.

The resulting grated daikon was beautiful to look at and the texture was moderately rough with a great mouthfeel. 

However, for some of our testers, the shape of the handle was a big drawback. If you find it difficult to hold onto or it hurts your hand, you can wrap a cloth around it.

Rounding out our top 5 is a plastic grater. We liked the container to catch the grated radish and drain excess water. On the other hand, the results were mixed, and not as good as the top bamboo graters. 

The daikon came out a bit rough and fibrous, but it wasn't watery. The short size was a tad hard to use, but it was easy to wash with just a quick rinse. If you want a catch-container and prefer plastic, this is a decent choice.
