Before using, please take a moment to season the pot to enhance its durability and cooking performance:

Rinse the Pot: Start by rinsing your Donabe with water and letting it air dry completely.
Prepare the Rice Water: Mix 1 cup of uncooked short-grain rice with 4 cups of water in a separate bowl. Stir until the water turns milky white, then strain the water into your Donabe, discarding the rice.
Cook the Rice Water: Place the Donabe on the stove over low heat and gradually bring it to a simmer. Allow it to simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes. This process helps seal the porous clay.
Cool and Rinse: Turn off the heat and let the Donabe cool down naturally. Once cooled, discard the rice water and rinse the pot with warm water (do not use soap).
Dry Thoroughly: Allow the Donabe to air dry completely before storing.

Your Donabe is now seasoned and ready for use! Enjoy cooking hearty stews, soups, and rice dishes with this beautifully designed pot, perfect for showcasing your culinary skills and enriching your dining experience.

Additional Instructions

Most of Made in Japan products are sourced from small, family-run kilns in Gifu on the central island of Honshu, with the rest of our collections sourced from all over Japan. Our products make their way from Japan to our lovely warehouse in Yorkshire, where we keep them safe until it’s time for them to head to their new homes.

What’s in the box?

Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware. Sustainability is important to us and we’re working hard on ways to keep items safe while being kind to the planet, too.
