A traditional Ko-Iga (Old Iga-style) donabe from TOJIKI, carefully made at a kiln in Iga, one of Japan’s most historic pottery regions. Iga clay naturally contains carbonized plant matter; when fired, it becomes a porous body that stores heat exceptionally well. This heat retention helps cook ingredients slowly and evenly to the core—bringing out sweetness and umami without drying them out.
Sized as a 6-go (No.6) pot, it’s ideal for one-person hot pot meals and small-batch cooking. From simmered dishes to quick soups, this donabe turns simple ingredients into something deeply comforting.
