Japanese Cast Iron Kettle "Arare" – Handmade Tetsubin for Traditional Tea Brewing

Traditional Japanese Nambu Tetsubin Kettle – Masterfully Crafted for Boiling Water

Experience the time-honored tradition of Japanese craftsmanship with this Nambu Tetsubin cast iron kettle, carefully made in Iwate Prefecture. Designed exclusively for boiling water, this kettle retains heat efficiently while naturally infusing iron into the water for a subtle, enriched taste. Unlike enamel-coated teapots, this Tetsubin has an uncoated interior, allowing trace amounts of iron to be released, making it a natural way to support iron intake.

Authentic Japanese Craftsmanship & Timeless Durability

Handcrafted by the renowned Oiharu Foundry, this traditional Japanese cast iron kettle features the iconic Arare (hobnail) pattern, symbolizing strength and longevity. The thick cast iron construction ensures superior heat retention, keeping water hot for longer periods. Designed with a smooth, forged iron handle, it offers a comfortable grip while maintaining a timeless aesthetic.

Versatile & Built to Last – A Lifetime Investment

This Japanese Tetsubin kettle is designed for both direct flame and induction cooktops, offering versatility in any kitchen. Over time, a natural patina may develop inside, further enhancing its performance. To maintain its longevity, simply rinse with water after use and allow it to dry from residual heat. Owning a Nambu Tetsubin is more than just having a kettle—it’s preserving a Japanese heritage piece that can be passed down for generations.
