Product Description
This is the "Tetsubin/Komaru," a simple and modern kettle designed by Rikuchō Ogasawara, a pioneer in cast iron art. Its charm lies in its plump, rounded shape.
Each kettle has a subtly unique, rustic appearance, conveying the warmth of handmade craftsmanship. Water boiled in a tetsubin dissolves iron, making it beneficial for those with anemia and the elderly.
A key feature is its ability to retain heat, keeping water hot for longer. The water also becomes exceptionally smooth, making it ideal not only for tea, black tea, and coffee but also for use in various cooking applications.
