This beautiful earthenware pot is glazed all over, with a focus on its appearance when placed on a table. To ensure the glaze covers the entire inside, each pot is fired individually without stacking. The glaze on the entire inside makes it easy to clean and maintain. Iga earthenware pots, favored by chefs The Iga region was once the bottom of Lake Biwa in ancient times. The clay extracted from its strata is highly fire-resistant, and since the Edo period, earthenware pots for direct fire, yukihira pots, and teapots have been made in this area. Iga clay contains a lot of carbonized plants, which creates a porous body when fired. Therefore, the earthenware pot itself retains heat well, slowly cooking food to the core, preventing the loss of flavor, and resulting in delicious dishes. This body also exhibits far-infrared effects, and has been favored by professional chefs for cooking methods such as boiling and grilling since ancient times.
