Motoshige Japanese Suribachi Black Mortar & Pestle Set 14.5cm

Expertly crafted in Iwami, Japan by Motoshige Pottery, this traditional Suribachi Mortar & Pestle Set is ideal for grinding sesame seeds, spices, herbs, nuts, and preparing fresh dressings, sauces, and pastes. Its elegant design also makes it suitable for serving straight from the kitchen to the table.

The carefully shaped 14.5cm bowl keeps ingredients gathered in the centre for efficient grinding, while each interior ridge is individually hand-finished to firmly grip ingredients with less effort.

Finished with a durable Kimachi glaze, made from natural Kimachi stone, the warm brown interior is a traditional feature of Iwami ware.

A non-slip silicone base keeps the mortar stable during use and helps protect work surfaces, while the matching Japanese beech wood pestle is perfectly sized for comfortable, controlled grinding.
