About the Item

"Usu" is one of the traditional tools with a rich history, representing an important aspect of Japanese culture, especially in culinary arts. Typically, it consists of a large wooden or stone bowl with a flat bottom, where ingredients are placed and then ground with a heavy pestle known as "kine." It is in this tool that rice dough for the famous Japanese dessert, mochi, is made. Today, this unique tool can also serve as an interesting decorative piece, adding touches of Japanese tradition and warm charm to your interior. You can cover it with a glass plate or a stone top, transforming it into a coffee or artisan table and creating a captivating atmosphere for your space.
