Introducing a Banko ware pestle from the Hakoya Selection kitchen series, a piece that will blend into your daily life and grow more and more beloved.
This revolutionary suribachi solves the biggest drawback of mortars.
Sesame seeds are best when freshly ground, but the biggest problem with mortars is cleaning up afterward. Sesame seeds often get stuck in the mortar's grooves, which can be a hassle to remove with a toothpick or wash multiple times.
This mortar is revolutionary because it eliminates grooves.
The reason it grinds so well despite having no grooves is because of the rough texture on the inside.
The rough texture of the rough clay used to make it grinds ingredients smoothly.
The large base also prevents wobbling when grinding ingredients with force, allowing for stable grinding, and its compact size means it can be served directly on the table.
Since it can be served without transferring the container, you can use the ground sesame seeds and ingredients without wasting them. You can also make spinach with sesame dressing or Shiraae (sweet and soy sauce) and serve them straight away.
It's also useful during the weaning period, when a lot of fine chopping and grating is required.
Since baby food is such a hygienic process, you want to keep your cooking utensils clean.
By eliminating the grooves, clogging is eliminated, improving hygiene and saving time on housework.
The surikoki (surikoshi) included in the set is made from domestic Kiso cypress.
This surikoki (surikoshi) is the perfect length and thickness to match your mortar and pestle, allowing for efficient grater operation.
The simple and beautiful design, showcasing the warmth of ceramic, is perfect for rooms with a Nordic or natural feel.
