$ 192

Cook fluffier and more flavorful rice, utilizing the far-infrared rays to create the best premium rice you have ever made.

As the Donabe rice cooker utilizes far-infrared rays, it is able to evenly heat up the donabe evenly from all sides to slowly cook every grain from the core. Made with a compact but classic design, this will be a must have item to obtain. In collaboration with Matsusho, the local craftsmen, and Homeland, an all female designer team, focused on presenting a new donabe that combined traditional manufacturing techniques using Shigaraki Clay, while enhancing modern concepts of useability and longevity. This handmade rice cooker will surely not only be aesthetically eye-catching, but enhance flavors that are not possible with traditional cookware. The Scarlet color is a traditional but unique color created by burning pine trees, and the Amber presents an exquisite candy color of deep black and brown that glows in every setting. 

Cook up to 3 cups of rice at a time. Can be used for stewing and dishes like curry.

Shigaraki Ware

One of the six ancient kilns that started in the Kamakura period. They use a highly rich soil that contains a lot of compost, allowing for great plasticity, which is extracted from the bottom of Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest lake. The clay has a natural orange hue that radiates a warm and gentle look that also is durable pottery. It has been said that Shigaraki Ware emerged in the 8th century and has been used for over 1300 years. It is still widely used today and handmade by skilled craftsmen for its highly resistant fire properties and its durability.
