Tokoname Ware Teapot | TAKASUKE

**The Tradition and Innovation of Koshi Touen** Founded in 1964, Koshi Touen established the cast-making method for Tokoname-ware teapots, pursuing a unique texture and functional beauty. In the Heisei era, the second-generation master evolved the design into a simpler teapot suited for modern lifestyles, achieving a clear texture that highlights the natural qualities of the clay. **Revolutionary "Sasame" Ceramic Tea Infuser** Koshi Touen developed the "Sasame" (fine mesh) ceramic tea infuser. This innovative infuser, capable of handling the fine tea leaves of deeply steamed green tea, is now favored by many craftspeople and artists.

Made from clay rich in iron oxide, it is said that the bitterness of the tea is softened by reacting with the tannins, resulting in a mellow flavor. Each teapot is meticulously finished by skilled artisans, designed for comfortable use without leaks. Furthermore, its luster and texture deepen over time, offering a unique charm that evolves with each use. =========================== **Handling and Care:** - For daily cleaning, gently wash with water only, without using detergent. After use, ensure it is well-dried before storing, making sure no water remains in the tea infuser section. - If tea stains are difficult to remove, dissolve baking soda in lukewarm water, gently rub with a soft cloth or toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely before use. *Please note that we share inventory with our physical stores, so items may occasionally be out of stock.
