About Suribachi
A suribachi is a sturdy Japanese mortar with an unglazed interior that features many small groves that help mash and bruise seeds, herbs, and spices more efficiently than a smooth surface. These ridges (called kushi no me) bring out subtle aromatic compounds when gently pounded with a wooden pestle, or surikogi.
Materials: Wood
Dimensions: Small: 7” Length, 1” Diameter; Medium: 9.5” Length, 1.25” Diameter
Care: While the mortar is microwave and dishwasher safe, we suggest handwashing with mild soap and a soft brush. Dry both the mortar and pestle thoroughly prior to storage.
