Review: Eine total unbrauchbare Verpackung bei einem hochwertigen und sensiblen Artikel. Review: Well made suribachi and surikogi. This is definitely a genuine Japanese made one. I really like how the bidirectional ridges were designed for the user to go in any direction with ease. I opted to get this over the traditional mortar and pestle since some had to get primed and whether it be marble (I.e. too smooth to perform some other functions), lava rock (i.e. need to prime with rice grains several time before use to reduce the lava rock particles), granite (i.e. very heavy), wood (i.e. scents usually linger after washing), or steel (slippery?) they all had pros and cons. I just wanted ONE that would serve MOST of my needs. Perhaps a trained chef would have more, but this is not my profession. I felt this suribachi fit the build. I also choose this one over their other design, b/c the suribachi’s bowl appeared to have a stabler format. The other one by Mino Ware had a higher center of gravity which appeared to me I may have issues with stability when grinding/bruising stuff albeit I loved the color. I chose function over color. Now I won’t have seed pods jumping out of my bowl since I didn’t previously own a mortar and pestle. I hope you enjoy it should you decide to purchase one. ## Features - Handmade Ripple Ridge Mortar and Japanese cypress wooden pestle set for Right-handed and Left-handed people. - Size : 6.6 inches x 6.73 inches x Height 3.07 inches, Weight：approx. 1.18 lbs, Full Capacity：approx. 22.3 fl.oz. - Material : Pottery, Texture Matte outside. Dishwasher, microwave available, no direct fire or oven. - This original waved mortar was designed by Japanese pottery, Yamagata Touen, which has a great history since 1794. The seventh generation, Tomoya Kato, has invented this special functional mortar after 9 years of trials and errors. This waved mortar helps keep ingredients stay on the bottom instead of going up around the mortar which makes it easy 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 that 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07RM5WV1T | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,789,901 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 738 in Mortar & Pestle Sets | | Brand | Mino Ware | | Colour | Off-white | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (67) | | Finish Type | Wooden | | Item Diameter | 6.7 Inches | | Item Dimensions | 16.8 x 17.1 x 7.8 centimetres | | Manufacturer | Mino ware | | Material Type | Ceramic | | Set Name | Mortar and Pestle Suribachi & Surikogi Set | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Mino Ware - **Colour:** Off-white - **Finish type:** Wooden - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 16.8 x 17.1 x 7.8 centimetres - **Material:** Ceramic ## Images ![Made in Japan Ripple Ridge Mortar & Pestle (Suribachi & Surikogi) Set 6.6 inches, for Both Right and Left Handed, Ivory, Authentic Mino Ware Pottery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QxkapyMCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Review *by A***Z on 20 June 2024* Eine total unbrauchbare Verpackung bei einem hochwertigen und sensiblen Artikel. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***N on 13 October 2019* Well made suribachi and surikogi.

I have bought dog toys from China because of expense and found them to be filled with newspapers and trash, and the recall with toys from China years ago...I just don't trust that they have any quality control. This item is beautiful enough to be set out on the table. It is so easy to clean and the pestle fits my hand well. It's not too big or too small or too light or too heavy. It's just right and balanced with Japanese writing on it. It would make a great gift. ## Frequently Bought Together - Made in Japan Ripple Ridge Mortar and Pestle Suribachi & Surikogi Set 6.6 Inches for Both Right and Left Handed Ivory Authentic Mino Ware Pottery M88238 - MyLifeUNIT Japanese Hot Pot Skimmer, Stainless Steel Mesh Food Strainer Foam and Grease Fishing Spoon 2.16 X 3.93 X 10.86 inches - Rubik’s Cube, Rubik's Race, Ace Edition Classic Fast-Paced Puzzle Strategy Sequence Two Player Board Game for Ages 8+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/271982599-made-in-japan-ripple-ridge-mortar-and-pestle-suribachi-surikogi](https://www.desertcart.us/products/271982599-made-in-japan-ripple-ridge-mortar-and-pestle-suribachi-surikogi) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
