Description
The Grooveless Ceramic Suribachi Mortar Bowl offers a refined take on a traditional Japanese kitchen essential. Unlike classic suribachi mortars with textured ridges, this version features a smooth interior—ideal for those who prefer easy mixing and effortless cleanup. It’s perfect for preparing goma-ae (spinach with sesame sauce), sauces, dressings, or lightly crushing herbs and seeds.
Available in three beautiful glazes—black, white, and deep blue—this suribachi adds a touch of modern Japanese design to your kitchen. The wide base ensures stability while grinding, and the built-in pour spout allows for clean and controlled serving.
Designed to accommodate enough sesame for four servings of goma-ae, the Grooveless Ceramic Suribachi Mortar Bowl is as practical as it is elegant. Whether you’re embracing Japanese cooking at home or looking for a multipurpose prep bowl with a sophisticated look, this piece delivers both style and function.

Banko WareMore Details
Banko Ware
Originating in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, Banko ware dates back to the mid-Edo period, when merchant and tea enthusiast Nunami Rozan began producing tea utensils in the region. Designated as a National Traditional Craft of Japan in 1979, it is known for its heat resistance and durability, making it ideal for donabe and teapots. Made from semi-porcelain clay rich in minerals, each piece withstands direct heat while retaining warmth efficiently. Balancing strength, practicality, and simple elegance, it remains an essential part of daily life in Japan.Mortars and Pestles
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. Ideal for crushing sesame seeds, mashing tofu or vegetables, and blending sauces, its craftsmanship and rustic beauty make artisan Japanese mortars an elegant serving bowl for table presentation.Shipping & Return
