I wipe the ginger clean before freezing, then grate it without peeling. With my grater the thinner, tender skin grates along with the insides but the tougher skin stays intact (as do the tougher fibers if the ginger is older).
I have a small hand grater with a handle by KitchenAid. It's the kind with very small holes for grating hard cheeses, I think.
