A cast iron teapot designed with the poetic silhouette of the moon.
Beyond its role in tea rituals, it is also highly recommended as a vessel for serving Japanese sake. Its capacity is perfectly suited for approximately four servings of sencha.

Whether adorning a traditional Japanese setting or a modern interior space, this Utsuwa harmonizes beautifully with any lifestyle. We invite you to embrace its changing expressions to suit your mood or the occasion of the day.

The interior is finished with an enamel coating to prevent rusting.
(As the underside of the lid and the rim are more susceptible to rust, please ensure they are dried thoroughly after use. Should any rust occur, it is harmless to health; we hope you will cherish it as a beautiful sign of the passage of time and the vessel’s evolving character.)

*This cast iron teapot is designed for brewing tea by pouring in hot water. Please note that it cannot be used over a direct flame.
*After use, we recommend washing it with warm water and wiping off any moisture or residue with a dry cloth.
Store in a well-ventilated area after it has dried completely.
Please be careful not to leave the item wet, as moisture may cause rust on the iron parts.
