Product Description

Nanbu tekki tetsubin japanese cast iron kettle Ubaguchi pine tree 1.2L

The name 「Ubaguchi」 comes from the fact that its shape resembles the mouth of an elderly woman.

Ubaguchi is a design found on traditional iron kettles, and is particularly common in Japanese iron kettles from ancient times.

It remains popular today for its beautiful shape.

The motif is an old pine tree, which is considered to be auspicious.
In Japan, the pine tree is a symbol of eternal youth and longevity and prosperity.
The old pine tree in particular is considered to be a symbol of wishes for everlasting prosperity.
This iron kettle makes a perfect gift.

The inside is finished with a rust-resistant finish using the traditional 「kama-yaki」 technique.
Kamayaki is done by firing the tetsubin in a high-temperature oven.
This process forms an oxide film on the surface of the tetsubin.
The oxide film stabilizes the iron content of the tetsubin.
The flavor of boiled water is improved and rust and corrosion are prevented.
Rust-proofing by kettle firing is a traditional technique that has been handed down since ancient times.

The capacity is rather large, approximately 1.2 liters.
It is useful for boiling water for a large number of people or as an easy-to-use everyday tetsubin.

Compatible with gas and induction cookers.
※Do not use on high heat.
