What is the bestpot?

Best Pot

A donabe clay pot that takes Banko ware's legendary heat retention to the next level. Simply heat your ingredients for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat — the pot holds warmth throughout, finishing the cooking on its own. For moisture-rich vegetables and similar ingredients, the waterless cooking method locks in natural flavors so every bite tastes its best.

Exceptional Precision Machining Craftsmanship

The brand behind this product, Moratura, traces its roots to Nakamura Seisakusho — a precision machining company in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, capable of tolerances as fine as 1/1000 mm and trusted even in aerospace component manufacturing. The brand was born when these master machinists applied their cutting expertise to Banko ware, the region's beloved traditional craft. Every piece is made with one heartfelt goal: to put a smile on the face of everyone who uses it.

Banko Ware — A Traditional Craft from Yokkaichi, Mie 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 retained warmth do the rest. Gentle, even heat that warms ingredients all the way through

For stews, rice, and more — just 10 minutes on the burner is all it takes. The pot's heat-retention technology keeps cooking after the flame is off. 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 perfect seal between the heavy cast-iron lid and the pot body, locking in heat and the natural umami of your ingredients. Nutrients stay intact, and waterless cooking is possible.

An innovative design built for heat retention — the Hagama Heater and Triple Heat Effect

The Secret to Great Flavor — Point 2

The base heats thoroughly while an air pocket forms inside the hagama-shaped bottom. Banko-yaki's exceptional heat-retention properties allow that trapped air to store warmth, enabling sustained low-heat cooking long after the burner is off.

After rinsing the rice, drain it in a colander for about 20 minutes. Then add the rice and water to the pot and let it soak for about 30 minutes.

②

Heat the pot on high. Once steam and bubbles appear around the lid, turn off the heat. (about 10 minutes) Let it sit and finish cooking in the residual heat for 20 minutes — and it's done!
