Donabe pots from the heart of Japan

Donabe, in Japanese, translates to "clay pot," and has been a staple of Japanese kitchens for over 100 years. It's carefully handcrafted from a porous clay material, which gives it its unique ability to retain heat. Besides keeping your food warm, it's a perfect kitchen accessory for even and slow cooking. Use them for cooking and serving hot pots, soups, stews, steamed fish or vegetables, and rice.

Those who have developed a taste for authentic Japanese food swear by Donabe's ability to improve the flavours of whatever is cooked inside. When serving these handmade clay pots, they can create a communal dining experience. There's nothing quite like gathering family and friends around the table and sharing in the warmth and comfort of homemade food.
