Sesame is one of the lesser-known ingredients of Japanese cuisine, even though it's present in many dishes, especially those involving vegetables, and you can find it both as whole seeds and ground like pepper. It is common enough to have its own traditional grinding mortar called a suribachi, but there's also a less traditional yet more convenient way of achieving the same results: the Recolte Sesame Seed Grinder!
At 6.5 x 6.5 x 17.6 cm (2.6 x 2.6 x 6.9"), the Recolte Sesame Seed Grinder is small enough to fit on one of your kitchen shelves until you need it. It operates on regular AAA alkaline batteries so you don't need to plug it into a power outlet, and it has a hopper with a capacity of 55 g (2 oz) for your sesame seeds and a container that can take 8 g (0.3 oz) of them when ground. It works at just the push of a button and if you think a specific grinder for sesame, rest assured that you can use it for other spices too!
