Product Description
There’s nothing like freshly ground spices to take your cooking to the next level. With the GEFU Suri—a mortar, pestle, and grater all in one—you can kick your dishes up a notch right away Read More
Is the mortar made of porcelain? Aren't mortars usually made of granite or some other tough, heavy material? Is the porcelain durable enough to hold up to repeated heavy striking with a big wooden pestle?
The suribachi (the thing everyone is calling a mortar) is on the smallish side, imo. I think the 7+ inch versions are much more common, useful, and easy to use. If you have an Asian market near you, I'd recommend checking it out first. The ginger graters are usually made out of tin and sell for just a couple of dollars (although they often do carry ceramic versions). Suribachi's are harder to find (unless you happen to have a Japanese market near you), but they're also usually not too expensive.

Been meaning to pick up a mortar and pestle for a while.. Didn't know I also needed a ceramic grater 'till just now lol
Seems like a decent deal. In for one for myself and one for a gift (weird that there was a limit of 2 in the order form? One sister is gonna be jealous of the other come Christmas time lol)
Stay near the edges of the inner circle, get a stiff-bristled brush to push the fiber out of the spikes. I just do more ginger than I need and throw away the stuff I brush out, as what gets stuck in the teeth is a lot of fiber and what falls to the side is just the good bits.
