It is a must have item in the Japanese kitchen. Why so? Because it is perfect for grinding sesames - remember the time when you went to a Japanese restaurant and they have finely grinded sesames? This is the mastermind behind it.
The sophisticated design allows you to serve with this mortar after grinding your ingredients. Notice the pouring spout too? It is handy addition when making a dressing.
