I used this a few times when I lived alone. It's the perfect size and ideal for single-serving hot pots! You can also cook delicious rice in it! It comes with a box, but it's torn, so please understand. How about it for the coming cold season (^o^) ★Product Description from the official website The Kikka earthenware pot is lightweight and easy to use, with a design colored in traditional Japanese colors.
