Japan Yamaichi wooden pestle(Japanese pepper tree)

$21

Carved from Japanese prickly ash, this pestle is dense and hard — a result of slow growth and tight annual rings. The wood has long been prized in Japan for abrasion and is said to possess antibacterial qualities; its warm, subtle aroma will become more apparent with use.

Designed for grinding sesame and nuts and for straining or rubbing miso, the pestle is made from a single branch or trunk section and is therefore one of a kind. Natural variations in grain and occasional small cracks at the narrow end can occur as the wood dries; these are inherent to the material, not defects.

Made in Japan. Not for direct flame, induction (IH), microwave, or dishwasher use.
