Nambu Cast Iron Arare Pattern Kettle 500ml

Known as one of Japan’s most iconic traditional crafts, Nambu Tetsubin has been cherished for over 400 years. Protected and nurtured by successive Nambu feudal lords, its distinctive wabi-sabi design embodies quiet simplicity, warmth, and enduring craftsmanship that continues to be valued today.

This Nambu iron kettle features the traditional Arare (hailstone) pattern, a design long associated with Japanese ironware. Compact and well balanced, it comes with a tea strainer, allowing it to be used both as a kettle for boiling water and as a teapot for brewing tea.

Unlike enamel-lined teapots, the interior is finished using the traditional kama-yaki (kiln-fired) method, leaving the surface uncoated. This allows iron to naturally dissolve into the water - a characteristic that has been valued in Japan for generations.
