Nambu Iron Kettles are renowned for their durability. Parents pass them onto their children, who pass them onto their grandchildren. Oshinsha will enclose a detailed guide on how to keep your kettle in the best condition to use for a long time.

The lacquer used for the coating has been applied using a process called yakitsuke and is therefore completely dry. Although we have never seen any cases of skin irritation from this lacquer coating, we would advise people who have had irritation from lacquer in the past to avoid using this product.

Nambu Ironware

Authentic Craftsmanship

Nambu Ironware from Iwate Prefecture is recognized as some of the finest ironware in the world and still as prized today as it was hundreds of years ago. This ironware tradition was developed in the feudal domain of Nambu, encompassing present-day Morioka, home of Tayama Studio. Like champagne from the Champagne region of France, only ironware from the Nambu region can be called Nambu Ironware. These items are made to last for lifetimes and are passed down for generations.

History

Nambu Ironware originated in mid-17th century, during the time the Nambu clan built Morioka Castle in Morioka. To form a castle town, the lord invited many casters to produce weapons, items related to Buddhism, bells, and everyday tools. Later on, craftsmen for iron kettles were also invited from Kyoto to produce iron kettles using charcoal and iron sand, both of which were abundant in Iwate Prefecture, marking the beginning of Nambu Ironware.

Enjoy a richer flavor

Nambu Ironware is known for enhancing the flavor of water. If you compare two cups of tea or coffee, one brewed with water from a Nambu Ironware kettle, you will notice the one using water from the Nambu Ironware kettle will have a deeper aroma and flavor. It is also thought to have added health benefits from being infused with a small amount of iron.
