Your First Donabe (Japanese Clay Pot): What Is the Correct Way to Do Mejime (Seasoning to Seal the Pores)?
This time, we're focusing on mejime (目止め), the process of sealing a donabe (Japanese clay pot) before use. There are many different types of donabe, but those made using traditional methods require mejime, along with other care, in order to be enjoyed for years to come.
Whether you've been drawn to the texture of traditional pottery and picked up a donabe of your own, or you've received one as a gift and are just about to start using it, we hope you'll find this guide helpful.
