Yokkaichi Banko-yaki, a Banko-yaki rice pot. Used a few times. Banko-yaki (also written as 万古焼) is a traditional craft of Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture, famous for its excellent heat resistance. Teapots and earthenware pots that take advantage of this heat-resistant property are well-known. You can cook fluffy, delicious rice like that cooked in a kamado (traditional Japanese cooking stove), which you can't experience with a rice cooker. It can cook 2 to 4 go (Japanese rice measuring unit). I personally think it's relatively clean, but please check the images for any scratches or stains. I have checked, but please understand that there may be oversight of scratches or stains not shown in the images. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. No claims and no returns are accepted.
