wooh! i found it! actually May technically found it... while we were walking in Sanko. so what is "It" you ask?
It is a sesame grinder! and its made to shred toasted sesame onto your noodles, releasing the oils and nutty aroma. I first came across this when i had ramen at Ippudo in New York City last year. and yes, altho likely a very common tool in Japan.. I had never come across them.
I like that its red, and looks like he's got a little neck and face. His personality stands tall next to our plants on our dining table.
can you see all the little sesame shreds n' bits?
