Iga ware, for a delicious finish

TOJIKITONYA's Iga clay pot No. 8 is manufactured in Iga, Mie Prefecture, a pottery production area. The clay taken from the ancient Lake Biwa layer, which is a geological layer in Iga, is very fire-resistant and has been known as a clay suitable for heat-resistant pottery. It is characterized by its excellent heat storage and heat retention, and its rough texture. In addition, Iga clay has a far-infrared effect, which is said to bring out the flavor of ingredients and make dishes mellow.

The colors are black, which shines with a glossy black color, and white, which allows you to feel the texture of the ingredients as it is. Just the different colors create different atmospheres. It comes in a box, so it is also recommended as a gift for celebrations such as weddings.

In addition to natural ingredients, no special fire-resistant ingredients are used, so it is prone to crazing (cracks in the surface skin) even with everyday use. Crazing will not interfere with use, so enjoy the texture that changes with use.
