Suribachi And Surikogi
''Suribachi'' (, lit. "grinding-bowl") and ''surikogi'' (, lit. "grind-powder-wood") are a Japanese mortar and pestle. These mortars are used in Japanese cooking to crush different ingredients such as sesame seeds. Form The ''suribachi'' is a pottery bowl, glazed on the outside and with a rough pattern called ''kushi-no-me'' on the unglazed inside. This surface is somewhat similar to the surface of the ''oroshigane'' (grater). The ''surikogi'' pestle is made from wood to avoid excessive wear on the ''suribachi''. Traditionally, the wood from the sanshō tree (Japanese prickly ash) was used, which adds a slight flavor to the food, although nowadays other woods are more common. The bowls have a diameter from 10 to 30 centimeters (3.9 to 11.8 inches). Use To use the ''suribachi'' the bowl is set on a non-slip surface, such as a rubber mat or a damp towel, and the ''surikogi'' is used to grind the material. Recently, plastic versions of the ''suribachi'' have also become p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mount Suribachi
is a -high hill on the southwest end of Iwo Jima in the northwest Pacific Ocean under the administration of Ogasawara Subprefecture, Tokyo Metropolis, Japan.

Joe Rosenthal's iconic World War II photograph, '' Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima'', depicting United States Marines raising an American flag, was taken at the mountain's peak during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. Ammunition ship USS ''Suribachi'' was named after this mountain. Geology Geologically, the mountain is a cinder cone of andesite, formed by volcanic activity. It is thought that the mountain is a dormant vent to a still active volcano (designated Iō-tō, the name of the island as a whole). From 1889 to 1957, the Japanese government recorde ...

Food Grinding Tools
Food is any substance consumed by an organism for nutritional support. Food is usually of plant, animal, or fungal origin and contains essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. Different species of animals have different feeding behaviours that satisfy the needs of their metabolisms and have evolved to fill a specific ecological niche within specific geographical contexts. Omnivorous humans are highly adaptable and have adapted to obtaining food in many different ecosystems. Humans generally use cooking to prepare food for consumption. The majority of the food energy required is supplied by the industrial food industry, which produces food through intensive agriculture and distributes it through complex food processing and food distribution systems. This system of conventional agriculture relies he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Oroshigane
, also known as , are graters used in Japanese cooking. differ significantly from Western-style graters, as they produce a much finer grating. Traditionally, these graters were tin-coated copper plates with many small spikes gouged out of the metal, but no actual perforations through the metal. These graters are still considered the best and are used by professional chefs. For preparing wasabi and , graters with the surface made from shark skin were exclusively used. These have an even finer grating surface than a metal one; much closer to a sanding paper. However, nowadays non-professional cooks usually use much less expensive graters made from other metals, plastic, or ceramics. A modern variation of these graters also has perforations and may come with a matching box so that the grated material drops through the grater into the box. There are two versions of the grater in common use with different coarseness. The coarse grater is used to grate and similar foodstuffs ...
