The Oni Namida, or 'Demon Tears' oroshiki will create cream so damn good and pungent it'll make a demon cry!  This is the top of the game when it comes to oroshiki.  There is no debate.  The paste produced by the Oni Namida is absolutely marvelous.  It eviscerates the wasabi to such a fine degree that there is almost zero debris or chunkiness in the paste.  This grater also maximizes the flavors of wasabi due to the advanced level of cellular destruction caused when grinding.  You'll hit significantly higher notes of pungency, sweetness and wasabi's earthy umami flavor compared with other oroshigane.  This is the grater I use most frequently.

Made of heavy duty stainless steel and specially designed by Fujiya Wasabi Farm in Azumino, Japan The 'Demon Tears' wasabi oroshigane is constructed by a local steel company working in close collaboration.  It's sturdy construction guarantees a long grind life and it's very easy to clean.  Do not scrub with a sponge or towel because it'll grate your cleaning apparatus!  Simply wash thoroughly and pat dry.

This is not for the casual wasabi user.  This is for high-end grinders who demand the most from their ingredients.  Over time an oxidized circle will develop on your oroshiki from repeated use, but this will not affect performance.  The Oni Namida does take significantly longer to create paste.  About 20-30% longer.  But it's worth it.  This oroshigane will last thousands of grinds.  Satisfaction guaranteed.
