This pattern has been stamped on tetsubin iron kettles since ancient times as a lucky motif. The inside is not enamel processed. The boiling water will be mellow. 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. ※It can be used with IH. Do not use on high heat. Oiharu casting works Biography Hoshodo is the name of the "Oiharu casting works" in Japan. Founded in 1952, with a history of more than 70 years.
