[Made in Japan] OIGEN Nanbu Iron Kettle, Shinonome Kikko Pattern, 1L, Made in Japan, Induction Compatible, Direct Heat, Honjien La

This is an iron kettle from Oshu, Iwate Prefecture, known as "Nambu Ironware." Due to its uniform thickness, Nambu iron kettles have excellent thermal conductivity and heat retention. The iron dissolves into the water boiled in the kettle, giving it a mellow flavor. Its beautiful appearance makes it useful not only as a tool but also as an interior décor piece. OIGEN iron kettles are kiln-fired for traditional rust prevention. The unpainted, unglazed interior allows for more dense scale to form, allowing for the joy of developing your own unique iron kettle. We hope you will treasure it and use it for many years to come. This 1L iron kettle features a tortoiseshell design, a symbol of good fortune. The handle folds down for convenient storage. It's neither too big nor too small, making it easy for both men and women to pour from. The base is thicker than usual, making it compatible with powerful 200V IH cooktops. It can be used on both direct flames and induction cooktops, making it a great gift for new beginnings or housewarmings. ●Material: Cast iron (biscuit interior) ●Dimensions: Approx.

It is also thick and heavy, so please handle it with care. Never clean the inside or outside with a scrubbing brush or scouring powder.
