Before using the mortar for the first time, wash and dry it thoroughly inside and out. Place the ingredients inside the mortar and use a pestle to grind them into a paste, applying steady pressure and circular motions. After use, wash the mortar by running your hand along the grooves inside to remove any remaining ingredients; a Japanese tawashi scourer is recommended for thorough cleaning. Dry completely before storing in a cool, shaded place away from direct sunlight.

Clean the mortar immediately after use to prevent residue buildup, using gentle scrubbing along the grooves with a soft brush or tawashi scourer. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the glaze. Thoroughly dry the mortar before storing it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality and appearance over time.
