Crafted in the time-honored Banko ware tradition of Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, the bestpot mini is a beautifully engineered donabe that brings centuries of Japanese ceramic artistry into the modern kitchen. Its exceptional precision machining creates an airtight seal that locks in heat, allowing ingredients to cook gently and evenly with just 10 minutes on the flame before the pot takes over on its own. Whether you are drawn to its waterless cooking capabilities or simply the idea of a smarter, slower way to prepare meals, this is a piece that earns its place on any stovetop.

A Modern Donabe for Heat-Retention Cooking and Waterless Cooking bestpot

What is the bestpot?

bestpot

A donabe (Japanese clay pot) that takes Banko Ware's renowned heat-retention properties even further. Simply heat your ingredients for 10 minutes, then set the pot aside — the retained warmth continues cooking everything to perfection. The design also supports waterless cooking, letting moisture-rich vegetables steam in their own juices so every ingredient tastes its very best.

Exceptional Precision Machining Craftsmanship

Moratoura traces its roots to Nakamura Seisakusho, a precision machining company based in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, capable of tolerances as fine as 1/1000 mm — expertise that extends to aerospace component manufacturing. The brand was born when its founders asked: what if we applied our precision cutting technology to Banko Ware, the traditional craft of our region? Every bestpot is shaped by that pioneering spirit and a heartfelt commitment to crafting products that bring a smile to every customer's face.

Banko Ware — A Traditional Craft from Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture Gentle, even heat that warms ingredients all the way through

Waterless Cooking Ready!

The pot is crafted from Banko-yaki ceramic, known for its low thermal conductivity. Heat builds slowly and evenly, drawing out the natural flavors of every ingredient for truly delicious results.

Just 10 minutes on the heat. Then let the pot do the rest.

Gentle, even heat that warms ingredients all the way through

Whether you're making a slow-simmered dish or cooking rice, all it takes is 10 minutes on the stove. After that, the pot's retained heat finishes the cooking on its own. Start it before you head out — and come home to a meal that's ready to enjoy.

A precision-ground cast-iron lid seals in both heat and flavor — nothing escapes

The Secret to Great Flavor — Point 1

Advanced precision grinding creates a seamless fit between the heavy cast-iron lid and the pot, locking in heat and the natural umami of your ingredients. Nutrients stay intact, and waterless cooking is fully supported.

An innovative design built for retained-heat cooking — the Hagama Heater and Triple Heat Effect

The Secret to Great Flavor — Point 2

The base heats thoroughly while an air pocket forms in the hagama-shaped bottom. Thanks to Banko-yaki's exceptional heat retention, that trapped air holds warmth long after the flame is off — making true retained-heat cooking possible.

Our Top Pick! The bestpot — A Rice-Cooking Powerhouse

① Rinse the rice, then drain in a colander for about 20 minutes. Add rice and water to the pot and soak for about 30 minutes.

For 2 go of rice, use 400 ml (approx. 13.5 fl oz) of water

② Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once steam and bubbles appear around the lid, turn off the heat. (About 10 minutes.) Let it sit and finish cooking in residual heat for 20 minutes — and it's ready!
