Inspired by the graceful form of the chrysanthemum, this donabe rice cooker is crafted using the traditional kohiki technique. A layer of white clay—known as shirogesho—is applied over the base clay before glazing and firing. The result is a predominantly white vessel adorned with delicate patterns and nuanced hues that not only highlight your culinary creations but also exude a relaxed, inviting charm.
Anyone can easily make delicious rice in just thirty minutes with this donabe rice cooker. The size is suitable to cook up to three rice cooker cups (3 gou), which is equivalent to 450 g (15.9 oz). A gou is a rice cooker cup, and one gou is equivalent to 150 g (5.3 oz). The amount of water used will be 1.1 to 1.2 times the amount of rice.
The double-lid design helps prevent spills, and with the simple step—“turn off the heat when you see steam”—anyone can enjoy freshly cooked, delicious rice with ease.
This stylish design is perfect for entertaining—place it directly on the table and serve hot rice with flair. It’s also well-suited for stewed dishes like oden, hearty soups, and slow-cooked meals. Ingredients stay intact while absorbing rich, flavorful broth, bringing out even more umami.

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.
