## Description

desertcart.com A Japanese version of the mortar and pestle, this suribachi set from Helen's Asian Kitchen is ideally suited to grinding and crushing herbs, seeds, and spices for deliciously fresh food. Crafted from durable earthenware with a rich brown outer glaze, the suribachi bowl features an unglazed, ribbed interior. This design holds ingredients at a slope for efficient, visible grinding. The coordinating wooden pestle, or surikogi, works well with the ceramic materials, so that the ingredients, not the bowl, take the beating. Comfortable in the hand, the pestle is shaped to maximize the contours of the suribachi bowl for uniform and quick results. All pieces should be washed by hand to preserve their integrity. --Emily Bedard Product Description Helen’s Asian Kitchen Suribachi Set, a traditional Japanese ceramic mortar with wooden pestle, quickly grinds ingredients into a fine paste or powder for preparing authentic Asian dressings, sauces, and pastes. Introduced from Southern China in the 11th century, this beautiful kitchen essential, the Japanese mortar (suribachi) and wooden pestle (surikogi) became an important tool in the Japanese kitchen. Its literal translation, grinding bowl, describes its results perfectly. The unglazed interior with sharp ridges speeds up the grinding process and prevents ingredients from slipping and sliding for more efficient results with minimal effort. Perfect for crushing sesame seeds and all types of nuts, garlic, herbs, and seasonings. Made from natural ceramic earthenware with a rich brown glazed exterior, Helen Chen’s Suribachi mortar set is sturdy and durable. The traditional wooden pestle is specially designed to prevent unnecessary wear to the mortar’s interior ridges. Easy to use. Simply set the suribachi on a damp towel or rubber mat to steady it on the work surface. Place ingredients inside and use the wooden pestle to rotate contents against the sharp, raised ridges inside the suribachi. Use a soft-bristle brush to dislodge ground ingredients. Hand wash in hot water, no soap. Brought to you by HIC Harold Import Co. Not affiliated with Joyce Chen Products.

Review: Makes a nice shaving bowl - I’m using this bowl to create soap lather for shaving. The ridges work well to create lather and the bowl is a perfect size to hold in my hand. It is very easy to use and easy to clean.
Review: Really nice - I like this mortar and pestle. It looks simple and elegant, it's easy to use and grinds really well. I got it in the mail last night. This morning it was time to test it out. 1 st I ground a few whole peppercorns into dust. Then I added some garlic, basil, olive oil, and made a really nice paste. So aaa, yeah, this works well, it's easy to use, the groves hold things in place, keeping it in the bowl. Like the groves on a millstone they make it easy to grind. The bowl is a good size, it holds a decent amount of stuff, fits into my hand comfortably and stays out on the counter when needed. It cleans easily and seems sturdy. This mortar and pestle is going to be very useful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes a nice shaving bowl

I’m using this bowl to create soap lather for shaving. The ridges work well to create lather and the bowl is a perfect size to hold in my hand. It is very easy to use and easy to clean.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great version of the Japanese suribachi and surikogi when looking for an alternative to the traditional mortar and pestle.
*by J***G on December 5, 2016*

This suribachi and surikogi is a very nice set. It's my introduction into a new version of a mortar and pestle. It's a simple design, it's made simply, not decorative, and somewhat cheap - something you may purchase at an Asian market. I'm not an expert of with the product at all, so I can't give a review of authenticity, etc. In the respect, of its design, simplicity, and pricing, I think that it's fair enough to say that this product is more than perfect to suit the needs of what is described as suribachi and surikogi that I've researched. For me, with no experience to the suribachi and surikogi, it took a bit of trial and error to get used to it! There were not any instructions, I suppose since it's pretty much self explanatory! I'd suggest that you do not overload the bowl with a large amount of spice to grind. Begin with a smaller amount and grind. You will eventually determine the proper volume to use (about) each grind. Overall, I'd suggest you try this product when looking for something different than the traditional mortar and pestle. Give it a try! Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen 5.5-inch Ceramic Suribachi Set
