Q【The characteristics of a Suri- Bachi】

• A Suri-Bachi is an earthenware mortar with vertical grooves.
• It is used in Japanese cooking to crush and grind different ingredients to make pastes and powders. Typically, this is done with a pestle.
• Unlike the food processor, the Suri-Batchi does not generate heat, and thus really draws out the smell & flavor of the ingredients. It also allows one to finely adjust the ingredients’ consistency as well.
• The use of a wooden pestle increases the mortar’s longevity.
