The Iga Ware Mortar Bowl is a traditional Japanese kitchen tool, handcrafted in Iga, a region renowned for its pottery. Its sturdy form sits securely on the bench, while the finely crafted interior ridges make light work of grinding sesame seeds, spices, miso, tofu, and other ingredients.
Beautifully simple and highly functional, it is equally suited to preparing dressings, sauces, and seasonings as it is to serving them at the table. The rustic character of the clay and the timeless design embody the enduring appeal of Japanese everyday ware.
Both a practical cooking tool and a beautiful serving vessel, it is designed to be used and enjoyed daily.
Care: Clean gently with a soft brush, allow to dry thoroughly, and store in a well-ventilated place.
