Mino Ware

Mino ware is a traditional pottery from Gifu Prefecture with a history of more than 1,300 years. Its origins trace back to the Nara period, when early potters began producing simple earthenware. During the Momoyama period (late 16th century), Mino became Japanfs leading center for ceramics, giving rise to distinctive styles such as Shino, Oribe, and Kizeto\each deeply connected to the aesthetics of the Japanese tea ceremony. Today, as Japanfs largest pottery-producing region, Mino continues to evolve with contemporary life, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern design to support the way people eat and live every day.

Mortars and pestles are indispensable tools in Japanese home cooking. The ceramic suribachi bowl, typically with fine ridges, pairs with the wooden surikogi pestle to make grinding and mashing effortless.

Rustic Style Meets Function

Just as Parmesan finds its way into countless Italian dishes, ground sesame is an essential in Japanese cooking, adding nutty richness to noodles, salads, and sauces. That’s why having the right mortar and pestle makes all the difference—and this set is my favorite. 

Nami’s Pick portrait

1. Rustic style with a pouring spout

Product image - Nami’s Pick

First of all, there are two features that are quite rare for a Japanese mortar—the dark, rustic look and the handy pouring spout that makes it easy to transfer sauces and dressings without a mess. The set also comes with a hinoki (Japanese cypress) pestle, the traditional choice known for its natural antibacterial properties.

2. Right size and shape for everyday use

Product image - Nami’s Pick

This mortar is the one I reach for every single time. Out of the eight mortars I own, some are too big and heavy, others too shallow or small, and a few have odd shapes that make them difficult to use. This bowl, however, is just the right size and shape for everyday cooking—it always feels comfortable and reliable.

3. Grind, mix, and serve in one bowl

Product image - Nami’s Pick

This beautiful glazed vessel doubles as a mixing bowl and serving dish. Here’s how I often use it:

  • Grind or mash seeds, nuts, or other ingredients
  • Stir in seasonings and condiments
  • Toss in vegetables
  • Bring it straight to the table

Fewer dishes, less mess—and more beauty on the table!

This mortar and pestle brings both beauty and function to daily cooking—something you’ll enjoy for years to come. I hope it finds a special place in your kitchen, just as it has in mine.
