Based on the concept of "bringing the scent and kindness of wood into daily life," Yamaichi continues to create products using high-quality raw wood from Kiso, Shinshu.
Sansho wood is resistant to friction, hard, and has antibacterial properties, so it has been used as a pestle since ancient times.
Each pestle is handmade in Wakayama Prefecture, a sansho producing region, so the bark and shape of each tree are unique,
each one showcasing its own rich character.

 


The natural shape of the wood fits comfortably in the hand, is non-slip, and offers excellent usability.
I use different sizes depending on the purpose. I usually grind sesame seeds or basil,
and when I do it by hand, I'm always surprised by the intensity of the aroma.

Handling Precautions

・Because natural wood is used, mold is likely to grow in damp places, so it needs to be thoroughly dried.
・Soaking it in hot water immediately after use will make it easier to remove dirt.
・Washing it without detergent will not compromise the wood's aroma, but if you do use detergent, rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
