Light Brown Deep Mortar with Spout 7.1 In

This deep mortar bowl with a spout features soft, earthy tones for a warm, inviting appearance.

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

With a diameter of 7.1 inches and a well-balanced depth, it is ideal for preparing everyday dishes like shira-ae (tofu-dressed salad) and spinach with ground sesame. Use it with a pestle to make grinding ingredients like nuts go quickly and smoothly, turning preparation into an enjoyable process.

The spout allows dressings to be poured directly from the mortar, ensuring a smooth transition from preparation to finishing touches. Its understated form also makes it work well as a serving vessel, blending naturally with a table setting.
