Hello from Japan. Thank you very much for visiting our online shop.
Tetsubin iron kettle, also known as Nanbu tekki, is a traditional Japanese kettle made of iron, iron casting.
It originated in the Iwate prefecture of Japan during the 17th century and is still produced today by skilled artisans in the same region.
Tetsubin, Nanbu tekki, is made using a special type of sand mold that allows the cast iron to be shaped with intricate details and patterns.
Our Tetsubin has been certified as a traditional craft by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan.
It is not mass produced. Skilled craftsmen put their hearts into making each one by hand.
If you use hot water boiled in this Tetsubin to make tea or coffee, you can take iron ingredient.
In recent years, the popularity of Tetsubin has spread not only in Japan but also overseas, as it has both value as a craft and being able to replenish iron.
The main difference between iron kettle (Tetsubin) and iron teapot (Tetsu Kyusu) is that the former is for boiling water and can be used over an open flame. The latter is for brewing tea and should not be used over an open flame. This exhibition product is the former.
In Europe, hard water is often used for cooking, but it may be difficult to brew delicious
Japanese-style soup stock and Japanese tea with hard water. If you live outside of Japan and have had experience making Japanese-style soup broth unsuccessfully, try a Tetsubin to soften the water.
Japanese tea tastes better with soft water than with hard water.
With a Tetsubin, you can drink authentic Japanese green tea anywhere in the world.
