Representative of Nambu Tekki

Comes with a tea strainer and can be used for a variety of purposes.A teapot that can also be used as an iron kettle. If you use it for boiling water, the iron naturally dissolves in the water, and you can easily take in iron. You can use it as a teapot with a tea strainer or as a warming bottle for hot sake.

Iron kettles are sometimes limited to either boiling water or teapots, but as the name suggests, this new Arare teapot for both iron kettle and teapot is an item that kills two birds with one stone. The capacity is a generous 0.65L, so you can put tea for your family at once. The power of iron keeps the water warm, so you can enjoy your tea time slowly. This tetsubin is also ideal as a gift for health-conscious people. I would love to have a friend who is worried about anemia and pregnant women.

Traditional crafts that shine with technology

Nambu Ironware, a traditional craft of Iwate Prefecture. It is said that in the middle of the 17th century, the Nambu (Morioka) feudal lord invited a kettle maker from Kyoto to Morioka to make kettles for the tea ceremony. Most of the processes, such as designing, making and assembling the molds, stamping the patterns, and coloring, are all done by hand, and the firing technique used to make the iron kettle has been designated for preservation. Iwachu's products are engraved with the name of Iwachu to guarantee their quality.

Iwachu is also famous as a manufacturer that spread ironware to the European tea market with its colorful ironware making, and the high level of technology is certifiable both in Japan and overseas. We take into account the difference in water quality between Japan and Japan when making materials, and we are a well-known manufacturer that is said to be "Please give me IWACHU", not teapots or pots.

Creating the future of Nambu Tekki

Founded in 1902, a long-established Nambu Tekki maker. Founder Suekichi Iwashimizu's father was a comb craftsman, but Suekichi was fascinated by the charm of Nambu ironware and became an apprentice to a Nambu ironware craftsman.

Iwachu has one of the largest factories in the industry and in Japan, and manufactures a wide variety of products, from tetsubin and ironware that fit in with modern life to handmade Nambu tetsubin that inherits tradition. We have two factories, the Semboku Factory, which manufactures iron kettles, and the Iioka Factory, which manufactures kitchenware. In Semboku, you can see the craftsmanship of the kettle makers up close, and there is also a gallery of products. We are also focusing on handing down Nambu Tekki to future generations.
