Ideal for effortlessly mashing a variety of ingredients, this Sansho Surikogi Pestle complements Motoshige's mortar bowls perfectly.
Made to go with Motoshige’s mortar bowls (White and Black), this pestle is made from the Japanese Sansho pepper tree, a material cherished since ancient times for its exceptional durability, and was thought to improve gastrointestinal health. The irregularities of the wood offer a natural look and feel while still providing a comfortable yet strong grip, making it an ideal tool for grinding ingredients.
