This Wooden pestle is made of Japanese pepper tree.
In Japan, it is used to grind sesame seeds and soybeans, and to make fish paste.
Usually used in combination with a Mortar.
In other countries, it may be used to crush hurbs, leaves, etc.
Both the young leaves and flowers of Japanese pepper are used to add color and flavor to dishes, while the rind is used as “powdered Japanese pepper” to spice up dishes.
In Japan, Japanese pepper is used in a variety of ways, but the wood is so hard and resistant to wear that it has long been used as a Wooden pestle.
This Wooden pestle is produced in Wakayama Prefecture, where Japanese pepper is widely cultivated, and is made from Japanese pepper trees that grow wild in the watershed of the Arita River, which originates in Mt.Kōya
Wooden pestles are made from trees that no longer bear fruit.
The bark of the Japanese pepper tree is used as it is in this Wooden pestle, which is full of wild flavor.
