Nanbu tekki tetsubin multipurpose japanese cast iron kettle teapot ARARE 0.32L

This cast iron kettle can be used for a variety of purposes,including as a kettle(for boiling water),a sake-warming container,and as a teapot. You can use this type not only to boil water over an open flame, but also as a teapot with a tea strainer inside. This tetsubin is decorated with a traditional Nambu tetsuki arare pattern. The arare pattern is inherited today from the ingenious wisdom and intricate design of our ancestors, as it makes the tetsubin thicker and more effective at retaining heat. The Arare pattern is a traditional pattern that has been handed down from ancient times. The inside is not enamel processed. The water boiled in Nanbu 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. ※It cannot be used with IH.
