This white mini mortar, shaped like a delicate flower petal, is a charming addition to the dining table.

Its compact size makes it perfect for placing on a tray for individual servings, adding a touch of elegance to mealtime. When paired with a surikogi (Japanese pestle), it allows you to grind ingredients like sesame and sansho (Japanese pepper), enhancing their aroma and flavor.

Beyond its use as a mortar, it also serves as a kobachi small bowl ideal for condiments and side dishes. Having such thoughtfully designed small items elevates the dining experience, bringing a sense of refined hospitality akin to a Japanese restaurant.
