This mortar includes a spout and features a softly rounded shape. Its calm white glaze exudes a gentle, elegant presence.

The interior ridges are hard and durable, forming a chrysanthemum-like pattern that is both beautiful and functional. It firmly grips ingredients and allows for efficient grinding. This distinctive ridge design is crafted using traditional techniques that have been carefully preserved over generations.

Use it with a pestle for smooth and comfortable preparation of everyday Japanese dishes such as spinach with ground sesame or shira-ae (tofu-dressed salad).

The spout allows sauces and dressings to be poured directly from the mortar, ensuring a smooth workflow from preparation to finishing touches. Its understated form also makes it a wonderful serving vessel that coordinates naturally with a table setting.
