It is an exquisite piece that stands out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShohei and Mirai enrolled in the Woodcrafts Department of the Agematsu 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, in 2020, Mirai joined, and their joint activities as a couple officially began.\u003cbr\u003eKnowing this background, one deeply understands that these works, meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, could only be created by two people who thoroughly understand wood.\u003cbr\u003eTheir appearance, as intricate as an objet d'art and brimming with refined beauty, is so captivating that one 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 out of his love for black pepper and his desire to create a tool that could grind it more deliciously himself.\u003cbr\u003eThe inspiration for this apparently came from the black pepper served with green onion ramen at a local ramen shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough trial and error, over 170 different shapes were born.\u003cbr\u003eThe passion poured into these pepper mills is palpable.\u003cbr\u003eThe names, such as \"eggplant\" and \"sardine,\" are derived from familiar objects, adding a playful and charming touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg

form is characterized by a subtle yet unrestrained indentation where curves and straight lines intertwine.\u003cbr\u003eThese distinctive shapes are created using a woodworking lathe, a technique commonly used for furniture such as table and chair legs.\u003cbr\u003eI was surprised to learn that they draw inspiration from both Western and Eastern designs by their predecessors, including the legs of imported Windsor chairs and low tables they admired, as well as Buddhist implements and kokeshi dolls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI personally use two convenient sizes at home, switching between them depending on the location and occasion.\u003cbr\u003eThe larger type in the photo is tall and can hold a generous amount 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

has a gold-colored knob screw, while the \"salt mill\" has a silver one.\u003cbr\u003eThe natural wood grain and the harmonizing classical gold and silver knob screws gently add an accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg

cutting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriven by the desire to use domestically produced goods, they use blades from \"IKEDA,\" a manufacturer of spice mills highly regarded by professionals in hotels and restaurants.\u003cbr\u003eThese Japanese blades are said to grind by \"cutting\" rather than \"crushing\" or \"mashing,\" resulting in a more aromatic grind and long-lasting sharpness.\u003cbr\u003eThe satisfying crunching sound and feel are also a characteristic feature, making it quite addictive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother welcome point is that they offer paid repair services for the wooden parts and blade replacement in case of malfunction or breakage.\u003cbr\u003eIt's something you can cherish for a long time, and I look forward to it becoming more ingrained in my daily life as I use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg

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