The seventh generation, Tomoya Kato, has invented this special functional mortar after 9 years of trials and errors. This waved mortar helps keep ingredients stay on the bottom instead of going up around the mortar which makes it easy and faster to grind. Food can be ground with more freshness due to less heat from rubbing
• Also this mortar is perfect for elderly people or those that want to minimize cooking time as it features ripple ridges that can keep ingredients on the bottom when grinding and have stronger friction, making it easier and faster to grind.
