About Tokoname ware

Tokoname ware (常滑焼, Tokoname-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery, stoneware, and ceramics produced in and around Aichi, Japan. Tokoname was the location of one of the six Antient Kilns of Japan and it dates back to the 12th century.

About this Kyusu (teapot) by Hokuryu

By the collaboration of tradition and modern technology, a ‘teapot craftsman’ who was born and raised in Tokoname made a special tool ‘teapot’.

・The handle with ‘千段 Sendan’ does not get hot and is not slippery
・Clean spout with a beautiful shape
・The inner surface is easy to wash
・Makes delicious taste with a tea strainer made of ceramic mesh

You can enjoy tea as well as Tokoname’s iron rich clay, which is said to remove the tannin (bitterness) of tea and make your tea milder.
