Taupe Swirl Donabe

This charming little donabe has a hypnotizing swirl in the center of the bowl and on the lid-handle. It's a perfect personal size, great for nabeyaki-udon or a stew of your choice. Hunker down at home with a personal stove in front of your favorite show or movie for dinner-theatre. It's referred to affectionately at Umami Mart as mame nabe (or "little bean nabe").

This Donabe comes from Ginpo Co., a maker of heat-resistant cookware in Yokkaichi City of Mie prefecture. They pride themselves on fully integrated production, a system in which the whole life-cycle of the product, from raw material selection to kiln-firing, takes place at the company with no outsourcing.
