A Timeless Tetsubin Representing the Tradition of Nambu Ironware

This traditional Nambu tetsubin embodies centuries of Japanese craftsmanship.
As you use it over time, the iron surface develops a unique patina, gradually changing in character to reflect its owner’s lifestyle. With its refined silhouette inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics, the kettle exudes a quiet presence—even when simply displayed.

In daily use, it also serves a functional purpose: boiling water in a cast iron kettle allows trace amounts of iron to be released, helping supplement your iron intake naturally.

While it may be a more expensive investment, a Nambu tetsubin is made to last a lifetime. We encourage you to enjoy the process of "nurturing" it slowly over time.

Product Features

• Compatible with induction cooktops (100V / 200V IH)

• Interior finished with traditional “kama-yaki” (kiln-baked) method

  • This high-temperature firing technique forms a natural oxidized coating inside the kettle, helping to reduce rust.

  • This coating may appear uneven due to the manufacturing process.

  • While it provides some rust resistance, it is not a perfect rust-proof finish.

⚠ If slight rust appears but the water remains clear and odor-free, you may continue to use the kettle safely.
