2. Set the Lids

Align the inner and outer lid holes perpendicular to each other.

Heat on medium-high (medium for brown rice). Turn off 1–2 minutes after steam vigorously escapes from the outer lid hole.

4. Steam

Iga-yaki Pottery and Its Unique Clay

Rich Natural Resources
Iga-yaki developed thanks to Iga's high-quality clay and red pine forests, providing ideal materials and fuel for pottery since the Kamakura period.
Why Iga Clay is Special
Iga clay, from 4-million-year-old organic-rich soil layers, forms tiny pores when fired, creating 'breathing clay.' This enhances heat retention and far-infrared effects, cooking food evenly and keeping it warm. Its durability makes it Japan's only domestic clay suitable for heat-resistant donabe, inspiring Nagatani-en's Kamado-san and other innovative cookware.

Where it is made

Iga, Mie

Iga ware (Iga-yaki)

Iga ware is made in Iga, in Mie Prefecture, from the area's coarse local clay, in a tradition about 1,300 years old. Nagatanien, a kiln in the Marubashira district founded in 1832, makes the Iga cookware in this range, including its Kamado-san and Ibushigin lines.

Amazing jumbo size pot

We already have the medium Kamado-San, so I knew the quality would be great! In this jumbo size I make 500g of rice, but you could easily make up to 700g (uncooked) rice and it will be the fluffiest, most flavorful rice there is - I only add salt and a bay leaf! I have to admit that rice is the only reason we bought this. It’s SO good. I have never tried anything else, because the medium was just too small, but plan to do so soon ☺️

If you want to make perfect rice

Wanted to make sushi chef quality rice, this doesn't disappoint.

I am interested in purchasing the kamado san donabe.

I am aware that this donabe is designed especially for cooking rice. However I wonder if one can stew meats or prepare a shabu shabu with it.

Thank you.

MINIMARU

While it is primarily designed for cooking rice to perfection, the beauty of the Donabe lies in its versatility. You can indeed use it for a variety of cooking methods, including stewing meats or preparing shabu-shabu. So you're not just limited to rice; feel free to explore a wide range of recipes!
