This is the "Daikoku Nabe" (Great Black Pot), a masterpiece from Kagetsu, a long-established kiln in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture. This Daikoku Nabe is a gem highly praised by culinary researchers and professional chefs, but the price has increased due to rising material costs. Currently, purchasing a comparable 4-go (about 720ml) size from the official shop is a very expensive pot, costing 33,000 yen including tax. The item for sale this time is a valuable piece from 25 years ago, when this series was first released. "A new item from an era when good materials were used lavishly" has been carefully stored unused for 25 years. It possesses a substantial weight and undeniable quality that are not found in current products. ■ This Shape Makes Both "Rice Cooking" and "Hot Pot Dishes" Supreme Unlike the typical tall, rice-specific earthenware pots, this one features a sturdy, wide bottom. Ideal Scorched Rice: Because of the wide bottom surface, you can enjoy the "scorched rice," the best part of earthenware pot rice, widely and evenly crispy. Excellent Heat Retention: It is very thick and has strong heat retention, so once heated, it cools slowly, cooking the rice fluffy to the core. Versatile Size: It can cook 4-5 go (maximum 5 go) of rice, and serves 4-5 people for hot pot dishes. It becomes the star of the dining table for winter nabe, oden, and simmered dishes. ■ Proof of Condition and Quality It is remarkably beautiful, considering it's 25 years old, and the "Daikoku" brand mark is firmly engraved on the bottom. 【Product Details】 Manufacturer: Kagetsu Co., Ltd.
