Tokoname ware is known for producing teapots, and because the clay contains a lot of iron, the tea is said to have a mellow, delicious taste without any bitterness. Tokoname teapots are made using a simple technique called "stoneware" and "yakishime," which involves hardening clay at high temperatures. The more you use them, the more their luster increases and their appearance develops a richer appearance. ・The lid and the body of each Tokoname-yaki teapot are sanded and "ground" together, so there is no wobble in the lid. The sanding marks remain faintly. ・Tokoname-yaki teapots are light, easy to hold, and have an excellent center of gravity balance, making them easy to use.
