Iwachu Japanese Cast Iron Gohan Nabe Rice Cooker, Black

Iwacha, a renowned Japanese ironware manufacturer with a history of over 100 years, presents this cast iron pot perfect for cooking fluffy, glistening rice. In addition to preparing plain rice, this versatile pot is ideal for making the Japanese dish "takikomi gohan," where rice is cooked with various ingredients.

The recipes for takikomi gohan often begin with a light dashi broth used as the cooking liquid instead of water, and may include small amounts of soy sauce, mirin, and sake for enhanced flavoring. Vegetable and meat ingredients are then added to create a variety of delectable dishes, such as Matsu take gohan (Matsu take mushroom rice), tai meshi (rice with sea bream fish), and gomoku gohan (rice with a combination of five ingredients).

The heavy lid of the pot ensures a tight seal, while its underside features a pattern of raised bumps that help evenly distribute the condensation back onto the rice during cooking. The rim of the pot also has a built-in channel to catch any potential boil-over spills.

Iwacha's renowned craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this cast iron pot. Skilled artisans infuse each product with precision and care throughout the entire manufacturing process, upholding the company's rich tradition of producing authentic Japanese tetsubin (iron kettles).

The superior quality, beauty, and lasting durability of Iwacha's products have earned them a worldwide reputation as the leading manufacturer of Japanese ironware. The heat retention properties of Iwacha's iron ensure the preparation of delicious, fluffy, and glistening rice.

With a capacity of 2 go, or approximately 1-1/2 cups of uncooked rice, this cast iron pot is suitable for serving approximately 2 people. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and made in Japan, this Iwacha pot is a testament to the company's commitment to preserving the art of traditional Japanese ironware.
