Product Description

Amazon.com Review

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. A bamboo brush also comes with the set for precision cleaning of the bowls' ribs. All pieces should be washed by hand to preserve their integrity. --Emily Bedard

Product Description

A beautiful and essential kitchen tool for the preparation of many Asian dressings, sauces and pastes. Introduced from Southern China in the 11th century, the Japanese mortar (suribachi) and wooden pestle (surikogi) is an important tool in the Japanese kitchen. The literal translation of suribachi is grinding bowl. And that is what it does to perfection. The unglazed ridged interior facilitates grinding and prevents ingredients from slipping and sliding. The traditional wooden pestle is designed to prevent unnecessary wearing down of the ridges. This is a traditional Japanese mortar and wooden pestle with a bonus bamboo cleaning brush. To use: Simply place the suribachi over a damp towel or rubber mat on your work counter. Hold the pestle with one hand and rotate the pestle against the ridges. Use the specially designed bamboo brush to help dislodge ingredients.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Item, December 8, 2007

This review is from: Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen 5.5-inch Ceramic Suribachi Set (Kitchen)
This is the best deal I've ever seen on such a quality Suribachi, not to mention that it has the little bamboo brush included....for cleaning the grooves. This Suribachi has a beautiful glazed finish and it is the perfect size for your kitchen...not too small nor too large. I highly recommend the product.

This review is from: Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen 5.5-inch Ceramic Suribachi Set (Kitchen)
I had a few mortar and pestle sets, and decided to try a Japanese version and ordered this one. The ridges do help and I'm using it more and more over the others. The ridges make it a little harder to clean, but don't let that deter you.

This review is from: Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen 5.5-inch Ceramic Suribachi Set (Kitchen)
This is a well made suribachi and it is quite a value. I tried it on peppercorns, sesame seeds and dried rosemary and it works great.
