Ready to impress your guests with the depths of flavors? Meet our large mortar and pestle herb crusher (5.5 inches), known as a Japanese Suribachi and Surikogi set. It is designed to pound the fibers of herbs, seeds, pulses, and other ingredients, effectively releasing the full range of essential oils, flavors, and aroma they contain.
Unlike modern high-speed food processors, it produces less noise, requires no assembly, and is easy to clean. Since less heat is produced due to rubbing, the ingredients ground in this mortar and pestle wood set are fresher and fuller of flavors. You can also control the consistency you need.
Unique Japanese design: The angled grooves, running up and down on the unglazed interior of our old-school bowl, break apart and crush ingredients fast and easily when pressed with the pestle. Plus, the ridges on these mortar and pestle bowls go in two directions, so they fit both left-handed and right-handed cooks.
Effortless cooking: The deep round bottom of the mortar exactly matches with the pestle, so more grinding is done with each stroke, twist, or smash. The perfect-sized wooden pestle prevents your knuckles from scraping against the sides of our bowl.
Durable: This pestle is made of sturdy wood, and the mortar is made of reliable ceramic earthenware with a galvanized exterior. This grinder for herbs won’t get dark over time and will serve you well for years.
Versatile: Our mortar is deep enough to hold several ingredients at a time and to prevent their jumping and mess on your kitchen. These Japanese kitchen tools can be used for making flavorful pesto, sauces, and any dressings; for crushing nuts, grinding sesame seeds, or emulsifying garlic; for making baby food, and even as a ceramic shaving bowl.
