Nambu Ironware Iron Kettle Crane 0.5L

<Specifications> No enamel finish, oxide coating finish by baking in a pot, movable handle, tea strainer included

Cranes and pine trees have been popular auspicious motifs in Japan since ancient times.
The front of the iron kettle (the front of a Nambu iron kettle is when the spout faces to the right) is decorated with a crane, and the back is decorated with a pine tree.
The handle is a design called a twisted handle. It is not only an accent piece in terms of its shape, but also functional as it is easy to grip with your fingers.

This small iron kettle comes with a tea strainer, so it can also be used as a teapot.
Overturning the conventional wisdom that teapots do not provide iron, this is a great iron kettle that is not enameled and can also be used to supplement iron.

◎Otomi's Kamayaki Iron Teapot
The grey color of the inside of the iron kettle is evidence of the traditional kiln firing process.
This is the finishing touch that is essential for replenishing iron, which is one of the original characteristics of iron kettles.

★Recommended usage
