Mortar & Pestle Suribachi Set from SpaEquip

This suribachi (grinding-bowl) and surikogi (wood grinder) is an elegant yet practical way to grind your own herbal products.

The ceramic pottery bowl is glazed on the outside in blue/green color and has a "crackle" finish with dragonflies on the inside rim. The inside bottom of the bowl has a rough, unglazed pattern (called kushi-no-me) making this a splendid way to grind your own herbs for fresh powders. And because of the tough grooves, it works wonderfully on barks, resins, berries and roots too. The grooves are designed to be easy-to-clean and it is dishwasher safe.

The surikogi pestle is included and made from wood to avoid excessive wear on the suribachi.

Hand crafted in Japan, the bowl has a diameter of 5 3/4" (14.6cm).
