Traditional crafts that are kind to your body and your life Enjoy using your favorite Nambu iron kettle for a long time Japan is said to be a country with a high iron deficiency. It is said that the cause is not only the low intake from food, but also the fact that people no longer use iron cooking utensils such as iron pots. The iron kettle used to boil water every day is one of the tools that played a role in daily iron replenishment. In particular, Nambu iron kettles have been loved for a long time for their ease of use and beautiful appearance, and are a Japanese craft known worldwide. Iron kettles are carefully handmade one by one, so they are not only durable and can be used for a long time, but the diverse designs that have been passed down from generation to generation also convey the "fun of using them". Iron kettles, made entirely of iron, from the knob on the lid to the handle, are products that have been made at Kunzan Kobo for a long time and have been loved by many people. The "flat iron bowl" is a slightly flattened version of the traditional rounded iron bowl. By widening the base, it is more stable and boils water faster. The handle is also treated with a traditional process called "moyashi". "Moyashi" is a processing method. It has long been loved by tea masters who appreciate the wabi-sabi aesthetic. The small round grains on the surface are the most common arare pattern on Nambu iron kettles. The regularly-spaced round grains are hand-painted one by one by artisans. The 1.4 liter capacity (70-80% of the actual volume can be boiled) is the perfect size for tea or coffee for two people. The bottom is designed to be easy to use with an induction heater. This iron kettle is gentle on the body and on your lifestyle, and is recommended for both personal use and as a gift.

Things to note when purchasing an iron kettle

The handle is fixed. Most iron kettles have a fixed handle. Do not move it forcibly. The reason why the handle is fixed is because of "tradition," but above all, it is safer to handle a hot iron kettle.
When using a new product for the first time: After rinsing lightly, boil water 2-3 times. After the 3rd or 4th time, it will be delicious to drink.
Regarding heat: Please use medium heat whether using gas or induction.
As a guideline, use an IH heater at 600W to 800W.
When using, slide the lid
When boiling water, tilt the lid slightly to let steam escape.
The lid knob and handle are "hot"
When transferring boiled water into a pot, etc., put the lid on and pour while holding down the handle with a cloth or something similar.
Please be careful as the lid knob and handle* become very hot.
(*When using induction cooking, the pan generally does not heat up.)
Every time you finish using it
Transfer the boiled water into a pot or similar container, remove the lid, and allow the residual heat to evaporate the water.
Please do not leave hot water in the pot as this may cause rust.


About "bath scum"
The inside of the pot will change as you use it. This is not rust but what we call "scale." The "scale" shown in the photo is just one example, and in reality, "scale" of various colors will accumulate. "Scale" protects the pot from rust and also has the effect of making the water mellow and delicious, so please use it as is without washing or scrubbing. As long as the water does not become cloudy, it is considered to be in normal condition.
Precautions

When washing, rinse only with the water in the container. Using detergents, polishing powder, scrubbing pads, etc. may cause rust.
When using for the first time, boil water 2-3 times to season it, then discard the water before drinking.
After use, be sure to drain the hot water and dry the inside.
After long-term use, reddish-brown and white sediments will form on the inside of the pot, but please do not remove them as they make the hot water taste better.
Please be careful not to burn the pot empty or touch the inside directly.
