So beautiful!! Looks so much better in person

The kettle is wonderful and makes a very good tea.

My wife had wanted an iron pot for a while, and while there are certainly lower price options out there - Oitomi had such unique pieces they really stood out.

The delivery certainly lived up to expectations. The craftsmanship on display is amazing. It's every bit as vibrant in person as in the photos. The weight and feel are indicative of the care put into its making.

We're very pleased with our purchase and would order from Oitomi again.

We got this for my wife after her clay teapot broke, and she fell in love with its understated beauty. It's even better in person! She has used it every day since it arrived (packaged safely).

The trivet and pine-needle kettle were given as gifts and were very happily received! The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the people of Oitomi were friendly and helpful with questions we had.

Beautiful and elegant. Good service too.

Amazing craftmanship; the delivery was prompt; adorable packaging and very good product. I am very satisfied.

Nambu Ironware, Iron kettle, MIYABI, black, 1.0L

Sturdy, no whistle tho

My son went to Japan last year and we were fortunate that he brought back many things and a new found love for Japan, the people and the culture. Unfortunately, he could not bring back a kettle/teapot for me as - being in the main tourist areas - the quality and variety was limited.

Therefore I gave myself a treat and came on this website to look for what I wanted and found the dragonfly kettle/tea pot, perfect for me in terms of design, function and size.

500ml is more than big enough for one person with a refill, or two without, depending on your preference. I don't pretend and I don't want to insult Japanese culture and the respected tea ceremony, more than happy to use the opportunity in making tea for a quiet time for thought, reflection and flavour.

The kettle/teapot is beautiful. It came very well packaged and in good time through DHL. You will have to pay custom charges, for me, €50 which is quite expensive when you consider the cost of ironware, €150.

Because the Yen is at such a low level, it still makes this purchase very reasonable and special.

Please be aware that the tea making part will be comparatively slow if you ae used to using just a kettle into a tea-pot. You need to slowly boil the water over a medium temperature, then wait for a while to cool to the correct temperature for your tea.

You also need to dry the kettle over the heat source over a short period of time to prevent excess oxidisation, although oxidisation is the whole point about using these non-enamelled ironware.

There are clear instruction supplied with the product and you feel that you have purchased a small piece of Japanese history.

I highly recommend Oitomi as a company of exemplary standards. You will not be disappointed in the service and the quality.

Osoreirimasu!

Excellent quality and the color is perfection!!

As a first-time customer and owner of a tetsubin, I couldn’t be more impressed. It is an art that I get to use daily. The craftsmanship speaks volumes about its heritage.

Customer service was outstanding, and although the estimated delivery was 1–2 months, it arrived in under two weeks—a delightful surprise. This tetsubin has exceeded my expectations in every way, both in artistry and service. Highly recommended! Cheers!

This tea pot/kettle is a beautiful addition to my kitchen. Very well made and easy to use.
