🍿 Today's Video:
We're going to explore Matcha grinders, known as Ishi Usu 石臼 in today's video, by looking at a large commercial milling stone, and small hand-turned stone.
There are a lot of differences in the stones used to grind Matcha fresh - and trade offs between small home mills and large mills you'll find in Matcha factories.

Awesome content man, matcha seems to be your Ikigai.
What camera are you using to record the videos? The quality is insane
Haven't watched the video yet, but based on my research doesn't really make sense to grind at home. But I would love to try freshly ground matcha sometime. Ooika might be the closest we can get
I have a soft granite mortar and pestle. Can I use that to grind the tencha? Assuming I do my best to almost imitate the mill?
How do you clean the mills after the work is done? It seems there is so much matcha sticked to the surface that could be wasted in process of cleaning. Hope you found a way to extract it from surface and drink it before clean up
Horsehair brush is used for cleaning. The partially ground tea in the mill is waste product.
Very nice. Domo arigato.
We come from China's matcha base and have been specializing in matcha production for 30 years. Our matcha has been certified by European and American standards, and we offer affordable prices and excellent quality. I think we can cooperate!
can you use this to grind coffee beans?
No, but, I do have mills that are made specifically for coffee
@@Ooika Thanks for the reply. interesting. Can you make a video about it? Also what are those coffee mills called and what kind of dressing patterns they have? I have high precision machine shop which can easily make metal burrs and can create tools to make burrs for granite/stone. I wanted to make the metal burrs. I have no idea how the design patterning concept works. I realized the dressing patterns are similar to the matcha millstones and grain/flour millstones. Your explanation on it is excellent, by far the best on TH-cam when it comes to grinding of patterned millstones, I like how you mentioned the outer stone-to-stone grind provides micron level powder, seems like this could be used for other applications of many different industries. BTW, I love Japanese Matcha tea, became hooked to it when I bought a box from Costco. I can’t drink any tea other than the Japanese Matcha.
@@sto2779 Yes, I can, ad will. I own a few of the coffee mills and will cover a video specifically covering milling coffee with them! They use a special pattern as you guessed.
@@Ooika Thanks for the reply. Would be interesting to watch the new video.
