Nanbu tekki tetsubin japanese cast iron kettle Phoenix 1.2L

This cast iron kettle has a lucky phoenix pattern. Since ancient times, the "Phoenix" has been a symbol of peace and good governance as a bird that brings good fortune. Nanbu ironware is baked using the traditional technique called kama-yaki to produce an oxide layer on the surface. It leads to "rust resistance" and "water quality improvement" and makes tea and coffee taste better. The water boiled in Nanbu iron kettle tastes mellow and sweet even when drunk straight. This is due to the effect of iron leaching into the hot water, but in order for the iron to leach out, the inside cannot be enameled or otherwise treated, and rust is liable to occur.
