They are masterpieces that truly stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShohei and Mirai entered the Woodcraft Department of the Kiso Technical College in Nagano Prefecture in the same year.\u003cbr\u003eAfter graduation, Shohei worked in furniture production at a joinery shop, and Mirai gained experience at an upholstery workshop, both pursuing careers related to wood.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2018, Shohei became independent under the name \"Mokkou Yamani.\"\u003cbr\u003eThen, from 2020, Mirai joined, and their collaborative work as a couple officially began.\u003cbrKnowing this background makes it clear why their creations are so meticulously crafted, born from two individuals who truly understand wood.\u003cbrTheir exquisite, refined beauty, like sculptures, is so captivating that you can't help but gaze at them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg

Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShohei began making pepper mills because he loved black pepper and wanted to create a tool that could grind it more deliciously himself.\u003cbr\u003eIt seems that it all started with the black pepper used in the green onion ramen served at a local ramen shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there, through repeated trial and error, over 170 different shapes were born.\u003cbr\u003eThe passion poured into these pepper mills is palpable.\u003cbr\u003eThe names are also playful and charming, inspired by familiar objects like \"nasu\" (eggplant) and \"iwashi\" (sardine).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg

forms are characterized by the intertwining of curves and linear lines, creating quiet yet somewhat uninhibited depressions.\u003cbr\u003eThese unique shapes are said to be created using a woodworking lathe, a technique used for furniture such as table and chair legs.\u003cbr\u003eI was surprised to hear that they drew inspiration from various designs, both Western and Eastern, including the legs of foreign Windsor chairs they admired, legs of low tables, as well as Buddhist implements and kokeshi dolls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI personally use two convenient sizes for home use, differentiating their use depending on the location and occasion.\u003cbr\u003eThe larger type in the photo is tall and can hold plenty of spices, making it very convenient for daily use in the kitchen.\u003cbr\u003eOn the other hand, the smaller type is compact and perfect for enjoying freshly ground spices at the dining table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg

a gold knob screw, while the salt mill has a silver one.\u003cbr\u003eThe natural wood grain and the harmoniously classic gold and silver knob screws subtly add an

Cutting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriven by the desire to use Japanese-made products, they apparently use blades manufactured by \"IKEDA,\" a company highly regarded by professionals in hotels and restaurants for their spice mills.\u003cbr\u003eThese Japanese-made blades are said to grind by \"cutting\" rather than \"crushing\" or \"mashing,\" resulting in a more fragrant grind and long-lasting sharpness.\u003cbr\u003eThe satisfying crunching sound and feel of the grind are also distinctive and might just become addictive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother great point is that in case of malfunction or damage, they offer paid repair services for the wooden parts and blade replacement.\u003cbr\u003eIt's wonderful to know that you can cherish it for a long time and enjoy how it seamlessly integrates into your life the more you use it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg

remove the knob screw and the top part to replenish the spices.\u003cbr\u003eWith the knob screw loosened, grip the body and turn the top part clockwise to grind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also adjust the grind size by adjusting how tightly the knob screw is fastened.\u003cbr\u003eFor a coarse grind, loosen the screw; for a fine grind, tighten the screw slightly.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, be careful not to turn the top part when the screw is fully tightened, as this could cause damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg

Pepper\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePepper is perfect not only for meat and fish dishes but also for finishing salads and pasta, and classic carbonara, in particular, is so compatible that you'll want to repeat it again and again.\u003cbr\u003ePepper carries a natural essence, reminiscent of the warmth of earth or tree bark.\u003cbr\u003eI feel myself becoming completely addicted to pepper, which acts like a \"flavor switch,\" thanks to this experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the mill glides comfortably in your hand, the aroma of spices wafts up with each grind of pepper, filling the dining table with excitement.\u003cbr\u003eBy placing it not only in the kitchen but also on the dining table, it serves as a wonderful interior accent that brings the warmth of wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease do try holding a spice mill from \"Mokkou Yamani\" at least once; it shines with their love for pepper and their exquisite craftsmanship and
