Mortars & Pestles
The mortar and pestle, essential tools in Japanese cooking, are perfect for grinding even small amounts of ingredients with ease. They are particularly recommended for grinding sesame seeds, as this releases their oils and enhances the flavor. In Japan, ceramic mortars are traditionally paired with wooden pestles. Placing one on the dining table adds an interactive element, letting everyone enjoy grinding ingredients themselves.
