• Handmade Ripple Ridge Mortar and Japanese cypress wooden pestle set for Right-handed and Left-handed people.
• This original waved mortar was designed by the then Japanese pottery company Yamagata Touen, which has a great history since 1794. The seventh generation, Tomoya Kato, invented this special functional mortar after 9 years of trials and errors. This waved mortar helps keep ingredients from staying on the bottom instead of going up around the mortar, which makes it easier and faster to grind. Food can be ground with more freshness due to less heat from rubbing
• Also, this mortar is perfect for elderly people or those who want to minimize cooking time, as it features ripple ridges that can keep ingredients on the bottom when grinding and have stronger friction, making it easier and faster to grind. Additionally, mortars are usually designed for right-handed individuals, as it requires clockwise grinding, but the ripple ridges can be ground both ways. The size is perfect for grinding sesame seeds, Chinese yams, herbs, and more.
