Japanese Suribachi Mortar 8.7" (Size #6, Indigo, 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 #6 size is ideal for everyday kitchen use with enough capacity for sauces, dressings, and prep work.
This version includes a non-slip silicone base for added stability and comes finished in an attractive indigo glaze. It also includes a matching wooden surikogi pestle, making it ready to use right out of the box. Each unit is individually boxed, which makes it suitable for retail display or gifting. A simple, effective tool with over 400 years of history behind its design.
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.
