Suribachi Pestle & Mortar

Use the suribachi pestle & mortar to grind seeds, salts, and herbs for homemade spice pastes. ‘Suribachi’ is the Japanese word for a mortar, and the pestle is known in Japanese as a ‘surikogi’. 

Made from ceramic with a wooden pestle, this Japanese-style grinder has a textured interior which helps produce a finer grind for spices and seeds. The small spout lets you transfer ingredients from mortar to bowl. 

Use this minimalist piece of kitchen equipment to make Japanese black sesame pastes as well as pestos and Thai curry pastes.
