■Characteristics of Ichichudo Nanbu Iron Kettle Nanbu Ironware, a traditional craft from Iwate Prefecture with a history of 900 years, has a rustic and warm texture, and is characterized by its texture that increases the more it is used. The outer surface of the iron kettle is finished with lacquer baking, and the inner surface is rust-prevented using traditional pot firing techniques. (This is a traditional technique that prevents rust by forming a film of triiron tetroxide on the surface by baking it over a charcoal fire at approximately 900 degrees.) The boiled water contains plenty of divalent iron, which is easily absorbed by the body. Effective for replenishment.
