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.

DESCRIPTION

This iron kettle was crafted by the sixth generation.

The term "Houju (Cintamani)" refers to a wish-fulfilling jewel in both Hindu and Buddhist traditions, while "Uma" translates to "horse" in Japanese.

The imagery portrays the iron kettle as a precious jewel, adorned with depictions of two horses traversing a field.

Within Japanese culture, the horse symbolizes prosperity, and these two auspicious symbols conjure notions of happiness.

The Hisago color represents Oitomi's exclusive aging paint technique.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

When using induction heating, use low to medium heat.
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.
Used over an open flame, the base will gradually turn white.

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.
