Iga-yaki is one of Japan’s most highly-regarded traditional ceramics, which is said to have originated in Iga, Mie-Prefecture in late 7th Century. Nagatani-en, founded in 1832, is the leading producer of Iga-yaki potteries. Nagatani-en’s product has been loved by both professional chefs and home cooks. Each donabe is made by skilled craftsmen with care at Nagatani-en’s facility. It takes about 2 weeks for one donabe to be made. This beaufiful Iga-yaki donabe is not only a great cooking tool, but also makes a great table-top presentation.
Multi-purpose donabe for steaming, soup, stew, and roasting. Its flat bottom can be heated empty
This donabe steamer, "Bistro Mushi Nabe" has the authentic rustic Iga-yaki look with a modern design. The knob is square-shape, and there are Nagatani-en's "iga-mono" logos etched on the handles.
By removing the steam grate, you can use the donabe as a classic-style donabe. Also, unlike most of classic-style donabe, with its thick body, this donabe can be heated without any liquid inside of the donabe. So, this donabe is especially ideal for sautéing, steam-frying or roasting. Also, the flat bottom makes it easier when you align ingredients in layers. This is a very versatile multi-purpose donabe for every day use for steaming, hot pot, soup, stew, roasting, etc.
