Wada Shoten
Make grating feel lighter, every day.
Wada Shoten plans and sells kitchen tools such as peelers and the "Pro Oroshi" series. The company is based in Sayama, Saitama, with weekday contact hours. One of the signature items, "Pro Oroshi X," focuses on how the blade is made and how the surface meets the ingredient. It is designed for smooth grating with less effort. Beyond classic daikon, it also proposes fun in choosing tools by ingredient — ginger, cheese, yamaimo, tomato, apple. Practical details — drain holes for excess moisture, non-slip silicone feet, and a reversible body for compact storage — help keep your prep flowing. Production is stated to be done at a factory in Sanjo, Niigata.
Why We Love It
"Pro Oroshi X" — firmly handling quantity. Beyond classic daikon grating, also great for grating a small amount of ginger or garlic for condiment prep. You can also play by quickly grating cheese to sprinkle on salads or pasta, or lightly grating apple for drinks and sauces. The drain holes help when you want to "just remove moisture" — finishing hot pot broths or prepping aemono. After use, flipping it for storage means cooking-tool drawers stay tidy, and tool retrieval flows comfortably on busy days.
PROFILE About the Company / Workshop
Wada Shoten is a small brand that sells kitchen and cleaning items, including self-developed tools such as "Pro Oroshi" graters and "Pro Peeler." The core approach is simple: make the extra steps in everyday prep feel smoother through thoughtful tool design. The shop also states clear weekday contact hours and public contact details.
One featured product is "Pro Oroshi X." It explains a stainless press process that leaves burrs, a curved grating surface that changes contact as you work, and practical stability from silicone non-slip feet. Drain holes and a reversible body for compact storage are also described as part of the design.
In the blog, the Pro Oroshi lineup is described as three series: X (large), V2 (small), and V (with draining). The BASE shop also lists "Pro Oroshi SPEEDY," focusing on a stainless build and an easy-to-hold handle for fast prep. The blog additionally mentions a handheld new model "New Orosix" being prepared toward year-end.
Pro Oroshi X is sold with a note that Wada Shoten designed it from scratch and it is manufactured at a factory in Sanjo, Niigata. The product page also lists a wide range of ingredients it can handle, beyond daikon radish. Shipping and payment options are described on the shop side, along with clear mail-order rules such as no packing slip included by default.
A blade concept that keeps "burrs" on purpose
Pro Oroshi X describes a stainless press process that intentionally leaves burrs. The idea is to catch the fibers of ingredients more firmly. It also notes that seasonings can cling well to the grated surface, which makes the result easy to pair with sauces and condiments.
Curved surface for easier starts
The grating surface is shaped with a curve. It starts with a smaller contact area and gradually becomes flatter, helping you apply force more naturally. Non-slip silicone feet are also described to support stability while you work.
Drain and store without fuss
Pro Oroshi X includes drain holes so you can remove excess moisture by tilting the tray. It also mentions a reversible design for compact storage. Small details like these make cleanup and putting it away feel straightforward.
A lineup with size options
The blog mentions three series in the Pro Oroshi lineup: X (large), V2 (small), and V (with draining). Choosing by amount and use — large batches, quick condiments, or when you want to drain — helps the tool fit naturally into daily cooking.
