Brand & Maker Overview

MokuNeji

Woodturning curves, precise threads. Tools that feel good to use.

MokuNeji blends traditional woodturning from Yamanaka Onsen (Ishikawa) with precise screw-threading—an approach often described as “craft × industry.” Glass storage jars with wooden screw tops bring a calm, tidy look to shelves. Salt & pepper bottles add the same tactile twist-open ritual to the table. The lineup also includes a slim Pasta case and stackable jars for dry goods. For coffee lovers, MokuNeji offers a hand grinder that combines a wooden body with a Kalita-made mechanism. The bean capacity is about 30g, with wood parts from Japan and mechanical parts from Taiwan. Planning and sales are handled by KOTORIKU INC. in Toshima, Tokyo.

Why We Love It

Start with the COFFEE MILL and make grinding part of your routine. Small grind changes can shift aroma and finish. Store beans or dry goods in Pot or the Pasta case for a clean “visible pantry.” Add Salt & Pepper on the table and enjoy the simple twist of the wooden lid. If you like tactile details, choosing by finish (oil or urushi) is another fun way to build a set.

PROFILE About the Company / Workshop

MokuNeji is planned and sold by KOTORIKU INC. in Toshima, Tokyo. The brand’s signature is combining woodturning heritage from Yamanaka Onsen, Ishikawa with precise screw-threading. By treating wooden threads as a real mechanism, everyday tools gain a small, functional “invention” and a calmer presence.

A key product is the COFFEE MILL. It uses a Kalita-made mechanism with a wooden body. The center section features a 3-start thread for smooth open/close action. Bean capacity is about 30g, making it easy to build a daily grind-and-brew rhythm. Different finishes—including oil and urushi-style options—change the feel in your hands.

Storage items are built around glass plus a wooden screw top. Pot is positioned for dry goods such as pasta, biscuits, and coffee beans. Stacking Pot is designed for stable stacking, helping you use vertical space. Pasta case stays slim and upright, making pantry organization feel straightforward and visually tidy.

For the table, Salt & Pepper bottles bring the same twist-open pleasure in a compact 82ml size. Separate versions for salt and pepper help you keep a consistent setup. The brand also provides an official online shop and a shop list, so you can start from one item and slowly build a coordinated set.

Craft meets industrial precision

MokuNeji pairs warm woodturning curves with precise screw-threading. Opening and closing becomes smooth and satisfying, and the tools look calm on a shelf or table. It’s a balance of texture and accuracy you can feel in daily use.

COFFEE MILL with a Kalita mechanism

The hand grinder combines a wooden body with a Kalita-made mechanism. A 3-start thread structure supports quick, smooth opening. Bean capacity is about 30g. Finishes include natural oil and urushi-style options for a different touch.

Storage built for dry goods

The core storage items use glass bodies with wooden screw tops. “Pot” is suited to solid items like pasta, biscuits, or coffee beans. “Stacking Pot” is designed to stack neatly, and the slim Pasta case keeps shelves tidy without wasting space.

82ml spice bottles for the table

Salt & Pepper Spice Bottles are table-friendly at about 82ml each. With glass and a wooden screw top, they add a natural accent to meals. Keeping salt and pepper in a matching set also makes the tabletop look clean and consistent.
