The product originated in Japan, but why was I led to believe this. Maybe it has something to do with its name! There is a label on the box that says it was seems great, but Kota Japan confused me because it comes from China, while the company claims that the product is made in Japan. It doesn't bother me, if it's made in China, but the product naming seems misleading so I'm not sure whether I should use it for food processing or not.

The material in this picture is not granite! Magnetic minerals such as granite are not found in nature. The piece is made of metal painted to resemble granite. I'm very upset about that. It is not a good idea to buy.

My mortar and pestle set is granite. It's also very beautiful. (Have I mentioned it before? The results of using it to make pesto and grind up dried herbs are great.

In another review, a customer stated, "This product leaves a dusty residue on anything I grind with it. ". In a nutshell, I am unable to use this. The answer is yes.

As a first time commenter, I would appreciate any feedback you may have. Feedbacks are very useful when you make purchases, they helped me decide to make this purchase, and I am thrilled with this product. The product is excellent. I have used it with dry spices, chutneys, I have the particular experience of grinding for the Indian 'Adai' and 'Dosa' which inspired me to write this review. While I was grinding the lentil urad dhal, I could see the batter getting ready for 'Vada' batter consistency. I have yet to attempt to make 'Vada', so my next grinding venture will be to make it. Although I have used Indian blenders with powerful motors, I don't feel like I have done the Urad Dal grinding justice. Using this mortar and pestle to grind rice and lentils was an excellent experience and the results were fantastic! It goes without saying that, if you want to grind large amounts of material, you would need a tabletop blender or grinder that is motorized. The same goes for any granite mortar/pestle, you do need to season it as mentioned in one of the reviews. Before you grind wet rice to season, you need to just grind water for a long time, to smooth and to prevent stone powder from getting into the ground. IMPORTANT NOTE As of the time of my purchase, it was listed at $17 on the website. Although it was on sale for 99 cents, I ended up paying 24 cents. It was only after I returned to leave feedback that I realized that I had missed item 99. Upon contacting customer service, they told me that the system was not updated and thanked me for bringing it to their attention. They then updated the software and told me that they will refund In any case, I am disappointed, as I would not have noticed the price difference if I had not come back to write this feedback. Since the price displayed vs the price taken for payment was different, I lost trust in it. Henceforth, I will pay close attention to prices before I pay.
It is a must-have for any cook to have a mortar and pestle. You need to season it by grinding some rice with some water before you use it. In order to unlock it, you'll need to do it about six times. I love how I worked my arms out! I have used this to grind dried peppers, garlic, ginger, and other ingredients. This is awesome! When I have finished using it, I wash with just warm water and a small scrub brush and allow it to.
It makes me happy that that is the case. Those are the things that make me happy! That's right and it only took 47 Years! I'm a smart guy, I know how it works!.
My mother bought one as a gift and was very pleased with the quality and beauty of it. Two of the three have been returned, including one I purchased for myself. It's not an issue, but the interior's been reshaped to make it more difficult for the pestle to go into the corners and at the top there is a rounded lip. Food that has not been ground is the cause of the problem. Testing it out wouldn't bother me since I am not here to QA items that I have simply purchased.
I was hesitant about the product because of some of the negative reviews, nevertheless, I was pleased when I received this item. We received the mortar and pestle without issue and were extremely satisfied with the coloration and texture of the mortar and pestle. I felt it fitted well in my hand, and my wife whose hands are smaller felt it to be just as comfortable. This mortar and pestle performed as expected. However, I would recommend putting a rubber pad on a counter top to protect it from stones on a counter top. This is not because this item has base issues, but rather because stone on stone is a was happy to see the seller included a card and appeared genuinely concerned with customer satisfaction and selling a quality product during my visit to the site. It would have been a good idea if the item was sourced in Japan as opposed to China given current conditions in China. Grinding rice and other spices allowed the item to be cleaned easily.
