Japanese Suribachi Mortar 6" (15cm) (Size #5, Red, Silicone Base, with Pestle) is a traditional Japanese grinding bowl designed for efficiently crushing, mixing, and mashing ingredients like sesame seeds, garlic, herbs, and tofu. The interior features the classic combed ridges (kushi-no-me) that grip ingredients and improve grinding performance, making it faster and more controlled than a smooth mortar. This #5 size is a versatile mid-size option, ideal for everyday prep, small batches of sauces, and table-side use.
This version includes a non-slip silicone base for added stability and comes in a classic red finish. It also includes a wooden surikogi pestle, so it’s ready to use right out of the box. Each unit is individually boxed, making it a great choice for retail display or gifting. A simple, time-tested tool with over 400 years of use in Japanese kitchens.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only and dry completely before storing. Do not use metal utensils inside the bowl, as they can damage the ridged surface. Avoid sudden temperature changes. Use the included wooden pestle to preserve the interior texture and ensure proper performance.
