Notice

The surface is coated with an antirust oxide layer using the traditional technique called kama-yaki (high temperature baking treatment), but as it is cast iron, rust may occur due to moisture and humidity. Since all items are handmade, shape, color and size may vary from the photo.

DESCRIPTION

We take pleasure in presenting a distinctive Tetsubin, distinct from those fashioned by Oitomi. This particular Tetsubin has been meticulously crafted by Shingo Kikuchi (菊池真吾), a seasoned traditional craftsman hailing from Shokado. His workshop is situated in Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture, coinciding with our own locale.

The designation of "traditional craftsman" bears official recognition from the Japanese government.

The Tetsubin showcases a classic silhouette referred to as the "Houjyu (宝珠)-shape," embellished with an arare pattern. The lid's grip boasts an artful depiction of a pinecone motif.

Crafted through forging, the handle is composed of iron. Much like the lid grip, it features a design known as "Mushikui (虫食い‐worm eaten)" - an intentional pattern of perforations that artfully simulates a cabbage nibbled by insects.

Of late, the availability of larger 2.0L products has witnessed a decline.

Internally, a technique called kama-yaki has been employed to coat the surface with an oxidized film, eschewing the application of any paint.

This particular Tetsubin commands a higher price in comparison to its counterparts. Yet, due to the implementation of the Yaki-gata method, its resolute adherence to bold and traditional aesthetic compositions, and the intimate inscription of the traditional craftsman, "真吾" (Shingo), this exceptional Tetsubin is poised to be your lifelong companion.

*Kindly note that the handmade nature of each item may result in slight variations between the actual product and the photographs.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

When using induction heating, use in the low to medium heat range.
Do not wash with detergent.
Do not wash using a sponge or scrubber.
Wipe off the excess water around the lid and other parts well, as discoloration and rusting can easily occur.
Please note that cooking near this pot may result in oil stains and discoloration due to oil splashes.
If the gas flame reaches the body of the pot, the part is likely to discolor, so be careful not to increase the heat too much.

To make tea and coffee great

The water boiled in Nambu iron kettle tastes mellow and sweet even when drunk straight.

This is due to the effect of iron leaching into the hot water, but in order for the iron to leach out, the inside cannot be enameled or otherwise treated, and rust is liable to occur.

Nambu ironware is baked using the traditional technique called kama-yaki to produce an oxide layer on the surface. It leads to "rust resistance" and "water quality improvement" and makes tea and coffee taste better.
