SURIBACHI/MORTAR -SETO YAKI WARE

The suribachi (mortar)is a earthenware bowl, glazed on the outside and with a rough pattern called kushi-no-me on the unglazed inside.  To use the suribachi the bowl is set on a non-slip surface, such as a rubber mat or a damp towel, and the surikogi(pestle) is used to grind the material.  The tool was first used for preparing medicines, then later used for grinding flour and eventually for food preparation.   Over the years many dishes were developed using the suribachi.  You can use for crushing nuts, griding seeds and spices.  You can even grind them and mix with ingredients in the mortar to create dipping sauces, dressing and serve it on the table.

• Produce better flavor and texture of the prepared items than the ones made by food processor
• Easy to control the texture of the dressing which we are creating – creamy, rough, crunchy.

We recommend fine teeth scrapter to help get out the all goodness without any waste.  And for cleaning we recommend our tawashi scrabbing brush.
