Notes
Due to the nature of cast products, there may be slight individual differences in size and weight.
Depending on the production year or product, some items may not have the “Nanbu Seieido / OIGEN” engraving, even if they are official products.
The kettle becomes extremely hot during and after heating. Always use oven mitts when handling.
Boiling with the lid closed may cause hot water to spout from the spout, which can be dangerous. To allow steam to escape, boil with the lid slightly shifted or removed.
If the kettle is unstable when placed on a gas stove grate, please use a heat-resistant stove mesh.
Founded in 1852 by Oikawa Genjuro in Mizusawa, Oshu — one of the historic homes of Nambu ironware — OIGEN has been casting iron cookware for five generations. Its signature Naked Finish uses no chemical coatings: just iron, fired at high heat, that seasons and improves with every use. Kettles, skillets, sukiyaki pans — each piece is made to be repaired, passed down, and used for a lifetime.
