The world-renowned iron kettle
The luxury of using an iron kettle in your everyday life
The representative product of Nambu ironware, the iron kettle, is one of the tea ceremony utensils. It is quenched at high temperatures so that when it is placed over an open flame, the iron will come out. The water boiled in the iron kettle is mellow, and the taste of your usual tea changes completely, and many people will be surprised by the difference in taste.

It's not just Japanese people who are in love with the deep flavor that Nambu iron kettles bring, and people all over the world are fascinated by the joy of nurturing an iron kettle.

Otomi's iron kettles convey the charm of such kettles by adding Japanese colors to traditional shapes. The shape, which has been cultivated over many years of history, is traditional yet easy to use and smart. The traditional black arare pattern is characterized by its elegant and lustrous color.

A long-established Nambu ironware store that preserves the craftsmanship of tea ceremony utensils
Among the production areas of Nambu ironware, the Mizusawa district, where Otomi is located, has been making tea utensils since ancient times. Otomi was founded in 1848 and is a manufacturer that has grown alongside the history of Nambu ironware.

While many manufacturers divide production into separate tasks, Otomi is one of the few manufacturers that handles everything from design and casting to finishing and sales. This is why, in order to take advantage of the properties of iron and bring out its beauty, the techniques that have been passed down by craftsmen are embodied in each iron kettle.

Tea is an integral part of everyday life in Japan. For this reason, craftsmen have honed their skills, pursuing not only beauty of appearance but also functionality. This is why Nambu ironware is recognized around the world and is sought after by so many people.
