Overview
No motor, no plug: this Kotobuki grinder from Japan cracks whole sesame seeds into a fine, aromatic powder with a simple hand crank. It suits anyone who sprinkles ground sesame on food often enough to want it within reach at the table.
There's no motor and nothing to plug in here, just a crank mechanism sized for a condiment jar.
- Made in Japan
- Manual crank mechanism, no batteries or power needed
- Unscrews at the base for easy refilling
- Also grinds other small seeds beyond sesame
Who it's for
Anyone who regularly sprinkles ground sesame on noodles, rice, salads or vegetables will use this often enough to justify the counter space. It isn't built for grinding large batches at once, since a mortar and pestle remains faster for bigger quantities.
Pros and cons
- Releases sesame aroma and flavor better than sprinkling whole seeds
- Compact enough to keep on the table with salt and pepper
- Doesn't turn seeds gummy or sticky the way some grinders do
- Simple to refill by unscrewing the base
- Manual crank, not suited to grinding large quantities at once
- No adjustable coarseness setting
