Stone base and picture-perfect mochi-making stone mortar. *The pestle is sold out m(_ _)m Granite Stone Mortar: Approximately 50cm in diameter, approximately 50cm in height including the base, approximately 11cm in diameter. Easy to make mochi with the base. Made of beautiful granite, the inside is smooth and glossy, making the mochi slide well. This stone mortar, made by the hands of old craftsmen, is not made by the current mainstream grinding machines, but has a tasteful appearance carved one swing at a time by craftsmen with a hammer, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a vintage item that is different from general commercial products. Also, it is believed that items in good condition like this one are rarely available. Stone mortars are extremely durable, and unlike wooden ones, there is no worry of mold, decay, or cracking due to moisture or dryness. This condition is maintained with outdoor storage under a roof. There is no concern about deterioration. It was active in the Showa era for family use, such as mugwort dumplings and New Year's mochi. I have experienced it myself and have fond memories of my childhood. The freshly made mochi was very soft and delicious. It's sure to be a big hit at events! I hope you will continue to pass on the traditional culture of Japan. It seems that it costs over 130,000 yen to buy it at the regular price, so how about a good deal? It was used in an ordinary household. It seems difficult to move the stone mortar, but it is easy to carry because it is divided into upper and lower parts. It has been used normally for many years, and I think that a standard, average man can move it. I listed it at the end of the year, and I have received many likes, so it seems that it is only a matter of time before it sells. It will be in time for the good timing of the New Year. I will arrange for immediate delivery. - Material: Granite - Shape: Round - Usage: Cooking mortar - Color: Gray - Size: Large Thank you for viewing.
