Motoshige Japanese Suribachi White Mortar & Pestle Set 18cm

Expertly crafted in Iwami, Japan by Motoshige Pottery, this traditional Suribachi Mortar & Pestle Set is designed 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 18cm 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.

The durable Kimachi glaze, made from natural Kimachi stone, gives the interior its distinctive warm brown finish and is a traditional feature of Iwami ware.

A non-slip silicone base keeps the mortar stable during use and helps protect work surfaces.
