[Size] Diameter including spout: approx. 15cm, Height: approx. 18cm, Capacity: approx. 0.4L when full [Material/Ingredients] Nambu iron [Country of origin] Japan Named Miyabi, this iron kettle features a remarkably soft silhouette. The octagonal base and lid create a graceful, curving curve. Eight is considered an auspicious number, symbolizing prosperity, and its shape, reminiscent of the lines of the human body like a violin or acoustic guitar, evokes a sense of comfort. Weighing approximately 1kg, it's a relatively small size for an iron kettle. To make it more accessible for those seeking iron leaching, the interior is not enamel-coated but features a kiln-fired finish. In recent years, drinking hot water boiled in an iron kettle has gained attention not only for its iron-rich properties but also for its potential intestinal regulating and detoxifying effects. It's the perfect size for boiling a cup of hot water every morning. When using it as a teapot, the tea's color may darken due to a reaction between the tannins in the tea and the iron, but this is not harmful. Some users have commented that the reaction between iron and tea components mellows bitterness and other off-flavors, resulting in a smoother taste. Specifications Details Stainless steel tea strainer included ***Precautions*** ・Do not use sponges or scouring pads on the inside or outside. ・When using with an IH 200V or higher, use on low or medium heat. Please note: (We have confirmed that it works with 100V and 200V, but it may not work with all IH appliances, so please contact the manufacturer.) ・Discoloration and rust are more likely to occur in areas where moisture tends to accumulate, such as around the lid, or in areas that come into contact with steam. When used over an open flame, the bottom will turn white. If the gas flame covers the surface of the iron kettle, that area will be more prone to discoloration, so please be careful not to use too high a heat. If you cook next to the iron kettle, oil splatters may cause oil stains and discoloration. Please be careful. ・When using it as a teapot, please be careful not to leave any moisture inside, just as you would when boiling water.
