A traditional craft with 900 years of history

Metalwork made in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture and Mizusawa, Oshu.
It is a traditional craft that was born in the mid-Edo period, and is said to have been named "Nambu Ironware" because it was made in the Nanbu clan. Nambu Ironware is a casting made using a technique called casting. Simply put, it is a manufacturing method in which molten iron is poured into a mold and allowed to harden, and it can take as many as 50 to 70 steps, taking up to two months to complete.
The secret to its popularity is its durability, which has been said to last for three generations, and its functionality, which allows you to replenish your iron intake by using Nambu ironware. It also has the characteristic of making the water mellow, making tea and cooking more delicious.
Combined with its unique rough texture, it also has an attractive rustic beauty.
The taste of the water definitely changes

There is a crucial difference in the taste of water boiled in a stainless steel or enamel kettle and water boiled in a Nambu iron kettle. When water boils in a Nambu iron kettle, the iron ions that dissolve from inside the kettle react with residual chlorine, breaking it down and removing it. The chlorine removal effect of Nambu iron kettles is considered to be particularly "excellent" compared to kettles made from other materials. Also, over time, "scale" will build up inside the kettle. Some people shy away from the word "scale," but this "scale" has the property of making the water mellow and delicious, so don't remove it, but let it grow.
