About the Item

"Usu" is a traditional Japanese tool with a deep cultural significance, particularly in the culinary arts. This unique item typically features a large wooden or stone bowl with a flat base, designed for grinding ingredients using a heavy pestle called "kine." It is traditionally used to make the rice dough for the beloved Japanese dessert, mochi. Nowadays, usu can also serve as a stunning decorative piece in your home. By placing a glass or stone top on it, you can transform it into a coffee or artisan table, infusing your space with Japanese tradition and inviting warmth.
