A compact Japanese rice donabe in a black glaze, handcrafted for Marumitsu Poterie. Sized for 2 cups (2 go) of rice at a time, it makes enough for 2–4 people.
The handleless body and deep-fitting lid reduce the chance of water boiling over, and a slot in the lid's knob conveniently holds your favourite rice scoop. Its shape improves convection so the rice cooks evenly, plump and delicious, and its compact form is easy to store in the kitchen or pop straight into the fridge. Founded in 1950 in Seto, home to some of Japan's longest-running kilns, Marumitsu designs each collection with a French flair, always considering how a piece will be used.

*Due to the weight of this item, it isn't available for free shipping.
Care: Hand wash only; do not use in the dishwasher. Do not soak the donabe or cool it too quickly while hot. Dry thoroughly before storing away.
Note that the outermost layer may crack slightly during use. This is a natural process that develops the donabe's character as it ages, and should not hinder your enjoyment of the product. Very thin hairline cracks may appear on the glazed surface and exterior base. Known as "kannyu" in Japanese, they do not affect the use of the donabe and are appreciated within the wabi-sabi aesthetic. These naturally developed cracks are a feature of handmade pottery made without petalite.
To extend the life of your donabe, we recommend seasoning it with the "medome" process before first use.
