Product description


Experience the centuries-old tradition of Japanese cast iron craftsmanship with the Iwachu 12822 Black Teapot Tetsubin Arare. Handcrafted in Morioka, Japan, by Iwachu—the leading producer of Nambu Tekki (traditional cast ironware)—this piece is a true marriage of artistry and enduring function. More than just a teapot, this is a genuine Tetsubin (iron kettle) that will enrich your daily tea ritual. 

 

Product features

  • Traditional Nambu Tekki Craftsmanship: Made in the Iwate Prefecture, this tetsubin is a product of over 100 years of Iwachu's revered tradition, ensuring superior quality and a design that is built to last a lifetime. 
  • Iconic Arare Pattern: The exterior features the classic, revered Arare (hailstone) pattern, a painstakingly produced minute dot design that gives the piece its distinctive, traditional beauty. 
  • Dual-Purpose Design (Tetsubin/Kettle): Unlike modern, enameled "teapots" (kyūsu), the Iwachu 12822 is a true tetsubin with a traditional, non-enameled interior. This design allows it to be safely used directly on a heat source to boil water. 
  • Enhances Water Quality and Flavor: Boiling water in this non-enameled cast iron releases bivalent iron, which is said to soften the water, reduce chlorine taste, and impart a subtle, mellow flavor that elevates your tea, coffee, or other beverages. It also provides a small, daily iron supplement. 
  • Superior Heat Retention: The solid cast iron construction is renowned for its ability to retain heat for extended periods, keeping your water hot and ready for multiple cups. 
  • Induction Compatible: Designed with a flat bottom, this tetsubin is suitable for use on gas, electric, and induction (IH 100V and 200V) stovetops. 
  • Authentic Iwachu Quality: Look for the genuine Iwachu trademark, a guarantee of authentic Nambu ironware and the highest standards of production. 
  • Product Specifications: Capacity: 0.65 Liters (approx. 22 fl oz) Material: Nambu Tekki
  • Cast Iron Interior: Traditional non-enameled finish (Black Baked/Kiln Fired) Color: 
  • Classic Black Use: Boiling water (Kettle/Tetsubin) and pouring hot water for tea/beverages.
