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 are delighted to introduce a remarkable Tetsubin that distinguishes itself from those crafted by Oitomi. This extraordinary piece is the creation of Kousei Oikawa(及川光正) aka Saihou(齋峰), an esteemed traditional craftsman whose atelier is situated in Seiryudo(成龍堂)
, Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture - the very same city we call home.

The designation of "traditional craftsman" is a formal recognition granted by the Japanese government to artisans who uphold and master advanced techniques and skills. Within the realm of Nambu Ironware, a select few hold this esteemed title, and Kousei Oikawa proudly stands as one of them.

It is characterized by its beautiful silhouette, harmonious Arare pattern, and the lovely size of the plucking on the lid. The lid pick is called “Musukui” and looks as if it has been bite by an insect.

The handle is made by forging a single sheet of iron, and is called a "Fukurozuru", which is a valuable handle. Because it is hollow inside, it is difficult for the body to transfer heat and does not get hot easily.

It is finished with a rust-proofing finish using the traditional “kama-yaki” technique, which has been handed down since ancient times, and is finished with a “lacquer baking finish,” which is a traditional manufacturing method.

This Tetsubin is more expensive than other Tetsubin. However, with the Yaki-gata method, bold and traditional aesthetic compositions, and the personal inscription of the traditional craftsman, "南部齋峰"(Nambu Saihou)", this special Tetsubin will be your partner for life.

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.
