We have received new stock of Yamatada Katouen's mortar, pestle, and natto bowl.
● Mortar and pestle JUJU mortier
This "Hamon Kushime" mortar took about nine years to complete. The beautiful curves of the "Hamon Kushime" mortar allow the pestle to firmly grind the ground. The ingredients will not escape to the top during grinding, so you can grind quickly and with less force. You can grind with either your right or left hand.
●Japanese pepper paste
Kato Tomoya himself went to the mountains during the coldest time of the year when the moisture in the wood is at its lowest, and cut down a Japanese pepper tree to make a pestle. It has long been said that Japanese pepper tree is the best material for making a pestle. This is because Japanese pepper tree has a detoxifying effect, and the small amount of Japanese pepper shaved off during the pestle grinding process is said to prevent food poisoning when mixed with the ingredients. The subtle fragrance of Japanese pepper also enhances the flavor of the food.
●Natto bowl
This is a special natto bowl from Yamatada Katouen. A beautifully shaped natto bowl that will brighten up your dining table just by having it there. It has a slightly larger spout to make it easier to pour the natto into. The inside of the bowl has grooves carved into it, just like a mortar, and these uneven surfaces create a small gap between the natto and the bowl, allowing just the right amount of air to get in when mixing, resulting in soft, mild, and delicious natto.
