Together with the mortar, which grinds, dissolves, and dresses ingredients with seasonings, the wooden pestle finely moderates the taste and the sense of touch. Wooden pestle traditionally utilizes wood from Japanese pepper trees as it is hard and resistant to wear.
Further, elements included in the Japanese pepper tree are known to be effective in activating the workings of visceral organs and boosting gastrointestinal functions.
Wooden pestle is usually fully utilized, including its leaves, flowers, fruit, and bark. Aridagawa Town, located in the Aridagawa basin, a river that originates from Mt. Koyasan, is rich in nature, has plenty of natural environment, and is home to many Japanese pepper trees. Utilizing high-quality materials, the product is designed to match the surface of the mortar and to fit the users' hands.
It was my pleasure! The item received with excellent quantity and packing with thanks!

I am very happy with my yutanpo and the stellar service from your shop. I have found no defects, and I do use my pink yutanopo daily now. It is quite chilly and damp in the Pacific Northwest, and this is a perfect, energy-efficient, elegant way to stay warm. I am actually using it right now. It’s just the right thing for warming my bed, and of course, my cats love to sleep near it. It is safely put in its cover and is under the bed covers so it can’t fall off or be damaged.
I have not used my pepper wood pestle (surikogi?), however. It’s so beautiful I haven’t wanted to mess it up! But I’m sure it will be perfect for my suribachi.
I found your service to be exceptional, and you have so many beautiful but practical things that I will definitely return. I thanked my acupuncture doctor for recommending your shop. He knew I would be pleased with your products. I have also recommended your shop to several others, too.
