    I just thrifted this, a tiny size. At first I though it is a condiment bowl, then I noticed the textured surface I thought it was unusual for condiment bowl. After some research i stumbled upon this video thank you!

      @@cookingJapan Really? I discovered it a few years ago with an Italian doctor specialized in cancer prevention through food. I made it a few times and liked it very much, but fell out to the habit. Now my husband wants to reduce how much salt he eats and I offered to make gomasio for him. That’s how I discovered that there’s a proper tool to make it the best way (instead of the blender). I bought a suribachi in. Japanese shop in Manhattan yesterday, now I “washed” it like you suggested and tonight I’ll try it for the first time. I need to find the bamboo scraper somewhere online though, because they were out of them at the shop, so I wouldn’t know how to scrape the food out of the suribachi now…

      Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video. I purchased those items at a shop called 'KIYA' in Japan. You can find a link to 'KIYA''s website in the description of the video. However, it appears that the same product is currently available for special order. While I'm uncertain about international shipping options, the shop's website seems to offer English support, so reaching out to them might be worth a try. If I come across another store where the items can be purchased, I'll be a link in the description. Thanks for your comment!

They do have those mortar bowls in two different sizes at their physical stores, but strangely, they don't seem to offer them online.

    I just have kept making gomasio in mine and scraping it with a fork, for several years. Now there is a build up of sesame oil. Can I use soap on it?

    • @cookingJapan
      @cookingJapan  5 місяців тому +1

      Hello, thank you for watching my video! You're so cool, making gomasio! So, to tackle those tough stains in your suribachi's grooves, here are two easy steps.
      First, pour hot water into the suribachi and add some dish soap. Let it sit for about 30 minutes to soften the dirt and make it easier to remove. The second tip is to use a tawashi (coconut scrubber) to clean the grooves. Give it a good scrub with the tawashi, and the dirt should come off nicely. If you don't have a tawashi, try using a scrub brush like a toothbrush.
      If you're concerned about the soap residue, you can finish off by pouring hot water into the suribachi again, adding vinegar, and letting it sit for about an hour. Ideally, oil residue can be removed with hot water alone, but for stubborn oil, using dish soap makes it easier to clean.
      I hope these tips help!
