About the Iwachu Nanbu iron kettle craftmanship:
The Iwachu Nanbu iron kettle refers to a type of high-quality, traditional Japanese kettle (known as tetsubin) made in the Iwachu region, which is located in Iwate Prefecture. The Iwachu Nanbu iron kettles are made using traditional techniques that date back to almost 400 years ago. The "Nanbu" in Iwachu Nanbu refers to the Nanbu clan, a historically influential family in the region. The tradition of ironworking began in the late 16th century when the Nanbu clan invited a master artisan from Kyoto to Morioka and commissioned the creation of tea kettles.
The kettle is made from high-quality cast iron, which not only ensures strength and longevity but also retains and distributes heat evenly. It is not coated inside.

Initiation:
▴ Make sure the handle is securely attached to the body.
▴ Rinse first, then fill the teapot about 80% with water and boil over medium heat. Then, drain the water and repeat this process 2-3 times.
Usage:
▴ Avoid placing the item on unstable surfaces or materials sensitive to heat.
▴ To prevent damage or staining when placing on a table or tray, always use a heat-resistant underlay.
▴ Only use products that are compatible with induction heating (indicated on the packaging). Using non-compatible teapots on induction cooktops can cause cracking or leakage.
▴ Both during and immediately after use, the teapot body becomes very hot. Always use a potholder or other heat protection, and take care not to burn yourself.
▴ Boiling a full pot of water may cause it to spill from the spout, which can be dangerous. To avoid this, fill the teapot to about 80% of its capacity and slide the lid to release steam.
▴ When heating on a gas stove, excessive heat may cause flames to extend from the bottom of the teapot, posing a risk. Use medium heat as a guideline, and exercise caution.
▴ Never heat the teapot when it's empty, as prolonged heating can cause damage or deterioration.
▴ Remove the metal filter before using the teapot on the stove to boil water.
▴ Sudden cooling or dropping the teapot can lead to damage or cracking. Handle with care.
▴ This product is not compatible with microwaves, dishwashers, or drying machines. Avoid using these appliances for cleaning or heating.
▴ Keep out of children's reach.
Cleaning:
▴ In a kitchen setting, be mindful of oil splashes, as oil stains may remain on the surface of the product.
▴ If red specks appear inside the item over time, do not scrub them with a brush. As long as the water does not turn brown, there is no issue with the quality (red specks may even appear after the first use).
▴ However, if moisture remains inside after use, it can cause the water to appear cloudy due to rust. While iron rust is not harmful to the body, make sure to dry the item thoroughly after use and store it in a dry place.
▴ If your teapot develops an unpleasant smell, rinse it, then fill it about 80% with water. Add around a teaspoon of sencha tea leaves (or a tea bag) and let it simmer for approximately 30 minutes. Afterward, rinse the teapot again and boil fresh water 1-2 times before use. This process helps prevent a metallic taste that can result from a chemical reaction between the tannins in the sencha and the iron in the teapot.
▴ Immediately discard any remaining water, wash the teapot with hot water, and dry it thoroughly. Leftover moisture can cause rust. Use paper towels or a dry cloth to wipe the outer surface, ensuring no moisture is left behind.
▴ Be sure to remove all tea leaves, wash with hot water, and dry the teapot completely. Leaving tea leaves for an extended period can cause them to turn black (this is not harmful to the body).
▴ If tea is left in the teapot for a long time, the tannins in the tea may react with the iron, causing the tea to darken. This discoloration can be minimized by rinsing the teapot with hot water each time tea is left in it.
▴ To restore the teapot's unique shine, gently wipe the outer surface with a damp cloth while the teapot is still warm (such as after boiling water).
▴ Do not use in dishwasher!
Storage:
▴ When not in use for an extended period, make sure to dry the teapot completely (both inside and outside) and store it in a well-ventilated, dry location.
