## Description

It’s sturdy with a smooth surface to give the needed texture. Simply apply a firm pressure with the pestle and your job will be done. Wash with hand using warm water, then rinse and air dry before storage. Perfect as a bridal shower gift. Must have in every home!!! Features: Genuine Natural Granite: Our mortar and pestle is made of genuine natural stone of the best quality for long lasting durability and beauty. Elegant Design: The design is a creative masterpiece. Nicely curved mortar with a pestle of the same color makes this mortar and pestle a special attraction. Sturdy, Non-Porous and Durable: The mortar is sturdy as a result of the solid stone it’s made of, it’s also non-porous, durable and will definitely last for a very long time. Easy to Use and Clean: Using it is quite easy, simply put in the item for grinding into the mortar and firmly pound with the pestle. The wide interior of the mortar, 4 7/8” wide X 2 1/4” deep, ensures its content will not be falling out easily. It’s equally very easy to clean, just wash with warm water and dry thoroughly after each use. Perfect for All Forms of Grinding: It perfectly grinds anything to any texture you desire, just keep pounding until you get your desired texture. It’s great for grinding all your nuts, spices, herbs and leaves.

Review: Works! - Other desertcart mortars are polished and don't have any bite to grind. They are for show. Kota Japan is a practical mortar that has great texture and works right out of the box (no rice grinding). Cleans well, just rinse with water. Excellent mortar and pestle.
Review: Absolutely perfect--and beautiful, too! - I browsed a lot of mortar & pestle sets before choosing the Kota. I needed it for crushing herbs for pastes and marinades, and grinding spices. I wanted one that wasn't too big (2 people, big enough for 4 if needed) or too heavy. I wanted high quality. I wanted one that was simple yet beautiful. The Kota checks all the boxes. It's simply lovely and does a great job! The pestle is hefty yet well balanced in my hand and rocks easily, giving a perfect grind and making smooth, even pastes without having to use a ton of muscle. The interior of the pestle is rough enough to give a traction when grinding herbs and spices, yet easy to clean; it's heavy enough to be completely stable when using, but not too heavy to comfortably lift in & out of the cabinet. Aesthetically, the exterior granite has a perfect polish and the shape is simple and refined. The price is an absolute bargain for the quality, design, usefulness and weight. I'm very happy with my choice and can highly recommend the Kota if you are looking for a mortar & pestle set.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works!
*by E***D on November 11, 2025*

Other Amazon mortars are polished and don't have any bite to grind. They are for show. Kota Japan is a practical mortar that has great texture and works right out of the box (no rice grinding). Cleans well, just rinse with water. Excellent mortar and pestle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Size for Various Uses, Good Quality, Looks Nice
*by A***L on February 29, 2020*

Works great and has an appealing simple design. Pay attention to the measurements to make sure it is the right size and shape for your needs. I use it to grind spices for cooking and tea blends (especially chai), and it processes everything quickly and easily. It's the perfect size for those purposes. Maybe a bit small if you're looking to make a big bowl of guacamole though. The "working" parts of the mortar and pestle are not polished, which is appropriate. I bought it for around $30 and feel I got a good deal for the quality. One of the "most useful" reviews on Amazon claims it is magnetic. I have no idea what they received, but mine certainly is not magnetic. Be sure to season and clean thoroughly before using. There are a variety of suggested methods, but grinding rice with some water several times did the trick for me. I also regularly clean it with a stiff brush/hot water after every other use, at least when I know I will be using it for different spices next.
