Black Nabe Cast Iron Pot with Lid

This Nambu ironware cast iron pot, traditional in appearance with a wooden lid and iron handle, is a highly functional cooking utensil. It's versatile, ideal for sukiyaki, stews, stir-frying, and deep-frying, and is compatible with both gas and induction heating (IH).

The pot, having a slightly shallow shape and a capacity of 1.2 L (41 oz), is perfect for two people to enjoy nabe dishes. Crafted from high-quality pure iron, boiling water in this pot infuses it with beneficial iron, ideal for those seeking natural iron supplementation.

The two handles fit nicely around the edge of the pot. When lifting, use a potholder to hold both handles together before lifting. Handle carefully as ironware becomes hot when heated.

The charm of Nambu ironware is in its durability; it can last for decades and may be passed down through generations. Incorporate it into your daily life and witness its graceful aging over time.

Nambu ironware, a representative of Japanese ironware, is a collective term for the pure iron casting crafts of the Mizusawa region and Morioka City area of Iwate Prefecture. The name comes from the fact that it was made in the area known as the Nanbu domain in the past.

The appeal of Nambu ironware, which has been loved throughout the generations, is not only its simplistic beauty, but also its many functional merits of being durable and easy to use in daily life.
