This is a suribachi (mortar) that was stored wrapped in paper in a storage room and has not been used. It appears to be easy to use, with a diameter of about 28 centimeters. There are no cracks or chips. It is unknown whether it is unused. The inside is clean, but there is some dirt on the bottom. The suribachi was a common cooking tool for ordinary people. Please use it for goma-ae (sesame dressing), shira-ae (white dressing), tsukune (meatballs), and tororo-jiru (grated yam soup). The hard pottery, the reliable kushime (grooves), and the brown suribachi that has maintained the same luster for many years have been highly valued for over 100 years and across generations. In addition to being a suribachi, it can also be used as a serving dish. 1900 yen ⇒ 1700 yen
