Crafted in Iwami, Japan by Motoshige Pottery - specialists in traditional suribachi mortars - this Japanese ceramic mortar and pestle set combines precision, durability, and understated elegance.

The larger, deeper bowl provides greater capacity, making it ideal for preparing generous portions of sesame paste, miso dressings, spices, and sauces. Its curved interior helps ingredients gather naturally at the centre, reducing splatter and allowing smooth, controlled grinding.

A discreet non-slip silicone base provides stable, one-handed use while protecting delicate table surfaces.

Fired at high temperature in the tradition of Iwami ware, the ceramic body is exceptionally hard and durable. The hand-finished interior ridges maximise grinding efficiency and release aroma with minimal effort.
