Donabe Clay Pots
Donabe, traditional Japanese clay pots, are often used in restaurants and homes to serve authentic hot pot dishes like chanko nabe, yudofu, and oden. These winter favorites are especially flavorful when prepared in a donabe.
Experienced chefs and science agree: cooking with a donabe makes food more delicious. Research shows that compared to a metal pot, cooking with a donabe clay pot can produce as much as 30% more glutamic acid, a key component of umami.
