Sesame Seed Grinder Mill, Slicky N, Kakudai Sangyo,

If you've ever eaten at a traditional Japanese ramen shop or local diner, you may have spotted one of these sitting on the counter among the seasonings. A familiar sight across Japan, this compact sesame grinder makes it easy to enjoy the rich aroma of freshly ground sesame at the table. Long appreciated in restaurants, it's equally at home in everyday kitchens.

Known as the Slicky N, this sesame grinder has been made by Kakudai Sangyo, a manufacturer based in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. Since its introduction in 1962, it has remained virtually unchanged—a testament to a design that simply works.

Grinding sesame seeds breaks their hard outer shell, allowing their natural nutrients to be more easily absorbed while releasing a deeper, more fragrant flavour. A quick twist adds freshly ground sesame to soba, udon and ramen, but it's just as delicious sprinkled over sushi, salads or a bowl of miso soup. Whenever a dish could use a little extra warmth and nuttiness, the Slicky N is always within reach.
