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.
