Before first use, wash the mortar thoroughly inside and out, then let it dry completely. When grinding, use the pestle to crush ingredients against the textured interior surface by applying firm pressure in a circular motion. After use, clean the mortar by rubbing your hands along the inner ridges or use a Japanese Tawashi scourer for best results. Dry thoroughly before storage and cover with a plastic bag or similar to prevent dirt accumulation. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Clean the mortar after each use by rubbing the interior with your hands or a gentle scourer, then rinse with warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the glaze. Ensure the mortar is completely dry before storing to prevent moisture buildup. Store the mortar in a place out of direct sunlight and cover it to keep dust and dirt away. Do not expose the ceramic to sudden temperature changes to avoid cracking.
