Handcrafted in Iwate Prefecture, this cast-iron kettle showcases the traditional Nambu arare (hailstone) pattern—densely packed bumps that both conceal scratches and improve grip. 

The arare pattern consists of small round bumps, named after hailstones due to their shape. It is widely used today on many Nambu ironware items.  This pattern is not only decorative but also helps to hide scratches and provides a better grip.

With a capacity of 0.6L (20.3 fl oz), it’s ideal for serving hot water to family or guests. Boiling water in this tea kettle naturally adds a small amount of iron and reduces chlorine, resulting in smooth, great-tasting water.

It is compatible with induction cooktops, making it easy to use in modern kitchens. Durable and long-lasting, it’s great for everyday use and also makes a thoughtful gift.
