Teapot Kettle Combo abacus-bead pattern Arare 0.8L with Tea Strainer

●The traditional Nanbu ironware abacus-bead pattern The “abacus-bead shape,” modeled after abacus beads, has long been a symbol of prosperity. The “arare pattern” adorning the surface and lid is a quintessential traditional motif of Nanbu iron teapots. The beautiful texture created by the artisan's handiwork calms the mind just by gazing at it. Its refined beauty as an interior piece makes it a masterpiece worthy of entertaining important guests. ●Authentic rust prevention through traditional “kiln-fired” technique The interior is finished using the traditional “kiln-fired” technique, which involves firing at approximately 800 degrees Celsius over charcoal. This creates an oxide layer that prevents metallic taste and results in a truly authentic iron kettle with exceptional rust resistance. Each kettle is meticulously crafted by artisans through this labor-intensive process. ●Two-in-one functionality!! Versatile enough to boil water and brew tea Boil water over direct flame and brew tea with its built-in strainer. This iron kettle excels at both roles as a dual-purpose teapot. Start your morning with iron-rich boiled water, then savor blissful moments with your favorite tea leaves in the afternoon. Your daily cup naturally transforms into a moment of pure enjoyment. ●Thoughtful Design for Ease of Use!! Easy to Store and Pour While iron kettles often have a heavy, substantial image, this kettle features a foldable handle design. This makes storage when not in use, filling with water, and cleaning completely stress-free. It offers the characteristic solid, substantial feel of Nanbu ironware while providing modern convenience that fits contemporary lifestyles, earning it the support of many loyal users. The 0.8L capacity is just right for 1-2 people, making it the perfect size for everyday use. ●Quality time that blends into daily life The quiet sound of water boiling in the morning. The scent of iron rising with the steam. A sip of warm water gently warms you from the core. Used as a teapot, it fully extracts the rich flavor of tea leaves, elevating your everyday tea to a higher level. Its presence as an interior piece that instantly refines any kitchen space is also appealing. ●History of Oiharu casting works Oiharu casting works was established in 1952.
