Place the ingredients, such as sesame seeds or spices, into the Suribachi mortar. Use the Surikogi pestle to press and grind the ingredients in a circular motion until the desired consistency is achieved. After use, rinse the mortar and pestle with warm water and dry thoroughly to maintain their quality. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking for extended periods.

Clean the mortar and pestle immediately after use with warm water, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that may damage the ceramic and wood. Dry both pieces completely before storing to prevent mold or warping. Keep the wooden pestle away from prolonged moisture and direct sunlight to maintain its durability. Store in a dry place to preserve the traditional craftsmanship.
