A suribachi is a ceramic bowl with grooves called kushime on the inside, used in Japanese cooking in combination with a pestle to grind ingredients into pastes. It is an essential tool for Japanese cuisine, such as making sesame dressing, grated yam, and baby food, allowing you to enjoy the rich flavor of freshly ground ingredients.

【Features and Main Uses of the Suribachi】
Structure: Fine grooves (kushime) on the inside efficiently grind ingredients.
Uses: Sesame seeds, garlic, miso (ground miso), white sesame dressing, grated yam, baby food, paste-like sauces, etc.

It is also called an ataribachi for good luck.

【Tips for Use】
Non-slip: Place a damp cloth under the base.
Grinding: Hold the middle of the pestle with one hand and the top with the other, and move in a circular motion using the weight of the pestle without applying too much force.
Care: Remove dirt stuck in the grooves with a scrub brush, toothbrush, or toothpick.
