This tetsubin has a flat, round shape called a "hiramaru" tetsubin. This tetsubin has a sturdy and heavy structure, making it outstanding not only for practical use, but also for interior decoration. This tetsubin is decorated with a traditional Nambu tekki 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 lid also has a arare pattern. The knob on the lid is designed like a flower bud. This tetsubin produces an vintage look. It represents a beautiful withered color that is not just gorgeous. In Japan, it is called "wabisabi". The inside is not enamel processed. The boiling water will be mellow. 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 can be used with IH.
