Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This Hagama donabe rice cooker is highly heat resistant, durable, and has excellent heat and moisture retention properties. Cooking rice in an earthenware pot releases just the right amount of moisture, and the residual heat cooks the rice to its core, making the rice grains nice and fluffy. It can be used with either open flame or electric cooktop.
Also, the temperature rises slowly, so the flavor of the rice is enhanced. The bottom of the earthenware pot is slightly rounded to ensure even heat distribution. The heat from the flame spreads over the entire surface of the pot.
The "Hagama" shape was originally designed to be convenient for cooking rice in a kamado(cooking furnace) in old times. The distinctive design has a nostalgic feel and enhances the atmosphere of Japanese cuisine.
Rice scoop and pot mat are also included with the rice cooker.
The size is suitable to cook up to 3 rice cooker cups (3 Gou*), which is equivalent to 450g. *A Gou is a rice cooker cup, and one Gou is equivalent to 150g.
The amount of water used will be 1.1 to 1.2 times the amount of rice.

Crafts
From everyday tableware and flower vases, Yokkaichi Banko ware, commonly referred to as Banko ware, is known for its remarkable variety. Among its most iconic creations is the donabe, or Japanese clay pot. Beloved for its durability and heat retention, it has become a staple of home-cooked meals—and today, around 80 percent of all donabe produced in Japan are Banko ware.
Banko ware originated in the mid-Edo period (1603–1868 CE), when a cultured tea enthusiast named Nunami Rozan began crafting ceramics in present-day Kuwana, Mie Prefecture. Rather than naming the ware after its region, he chose the word “banko”—meaning “eternity”—as a wish for his creations to endure for generations. That enduring spirit lives on today, and in recognition of its cultural and historical value, Banko ware was designated a Traditional Craft by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 1979.
