Earthenware Pot Feature 1

Earthen pot from Shigaraki ware, one of the six oldest kilns in Japan

Shigarayaki ware, known for its raccoon dog figurines, is one of Japan's six oldest kilns and is made in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. Characterized by its high fire resistance and coarse clay, this pottery is often used for large vessels and pots.

Since Shigarayaki ware is a traditional craft with a long history, it was used in the old days as utensils for the tea ceremony, and today a variety of items, not only tableware, but also ornaments and small objects, are made using the Shigaraki ware technique.

This earthenware pot is also a gem, carefully produced one by one by craftsmen. The beautiful curves and gentle texture give a sense of warmth that only handmade work can provide.

Coexistence of high heat resistance and clay texture

The charm of this earthenware pot is its unique texture, which is unique to Shigarayaki ware. The design and colors that fully express the texture of clay go very well with today's fashionable dining tables.

It is also highly heat resistant because it is created with special Shigarayaki ceramic clay containing heat-resistant materials. In addition to direct heating, ovens and microwave ovens can also be used.

Simmer, bake, and warm! Earthen pots that expand the range of one-pot cooking

The ability to cook with a variety of heat sources is a very good feature for an earthenware pot. In addition to cooking pots and stews over an open flame, you can also enjoy baked dishes in the oven. It is also microwave-safe, making it possible to reheat dishes.

The chubby, thick body has a high heat-retaining capacity, so it is great to serve one-pot dishes directly to the dining table and enjoy warm food for a long time.

The far-infrared ray effect also enhances the taste of the food itself. The simpler the dish is, the more delicious it will be. This earthenware pot is very useful in the chilly season.

When one or two people just want a pot! A pot that you can also enjoy the change of texture

The earthenware pot measures approximately 25 cm (width), 21.5 cm (depth), and 10.5 cm (height). It has a capacity of approximately 1,200 ml, which is just the right size for one person for dishes such as nabeyaki udon or for two people for one-pot meals.

Because it is not too large, it can be conveniently used according to your ideas and can be served directly as a dish on the dining table, making short work of time.

The back of the pot is unglazed, giving it the natural texture of stone-like Shigarayaki clay. Since pottery absorbs some water, the texture changes as it is used. You can enjoy growing your own earthenware pot.
