This is a suribachi and surikogi, the traditional Japanese mortar and pestle. The surikogi is a rounded wooden stick used to grind ingredients against the rough inner surface of the suribachi bowl. They’ve been used for centuries to grind sesame seeds, mountain yam, and tofu.To be honest, I don’t use them very often these days- the rough surface makes them a little tricky to clean!

Tamagoyaki, the Japanese omelet is one of the most popular Japanese dishes. Its taste changes depending on the region or where you eat it- at home, in a sushi restaurant, or as part of a traditional kaiseki meal. In eastern Japan it’s usually sweet, while in western Japan it often includes more dashi.My mother made hers with lots of sugar- it was so delicious and still a nostalgic taste for me. Nowadays, I cook mine with less sugar and a touch of dashi, sometimes adding tuna, sweetcorn, or nori.
