*Features of the material
[Porcelain]
Porcelain is made by kneading crushed pottery stone powder, molding it, and firing it at high temperatures. It is characterized by its dense texture and white surface, as well as its hardness and durability compared to ceramics. It does not absorb water, so it is resistant to stains and mildew, and is very easy to handle on a daily basis.

[Semi-porcelain]
Semi-porcelain is a type of pottery made by combining earthenware and porcelain clay, and has the characteristics of both pottery and porcelain. To ensure long-lasting use and enjoyment, please use with the following precautions.

[Pottery (earthenware)
This is a typical pottery material that has been used in daily life since ancient times. It is often highly absorbent, coarse-grained, soft, and prone to chipping, but it is available in a wide range of types and is easy to get used to and has a rich texture.

[Pottery (kohiki)
This type of pottery is made of white clay, coated with a transparent glaze, and fired. Because of its water absorbency, it is characterized by the formation of dark and light blotches called "rain leaks" as the potter uses it more and more. It is a material that requires careful handling, but it has a unique texture with warmth.

[Heat-resistant pottery]
Heat-resistant pottery contains petalite (a special heat-resistant material). This material is used to prevent breakage due to thermal expansion even when the vessel is subjected to a load from heating. If handled properly, it is a convenient material that can be used as a vessel or cooking utensil.

[Earthenware]
Earthen pots contain petalite (a special heat-resistant material). This material prevents damage due to thermal expansion, even when the load from heating is applied to the body of the pot. In addition, heat-resistant earthenware has a far-infrared ray effect, which brings out the flavor of the food and makes the food more mellow.

[Iga Pot]
The clay from the Lake Biwa Formation, which is the geological formation where Iga is located, is highly refractory, and has been used to make heat-resistant pottery as a tool for daily life in Japan since ancient times. It is characterized by its excellent heat storage* and heat retention, as well as its rich clay texture. It also has a far-infrared ray effect, which brings out the flavor of ingredients and mellows the food. Since no special refractory elements have been added to the raw material, it is more prone to penetration (cracks in the surface skin) than earthenware pots containing petalite, even under normal daily use. When using Iga pots, please enjoy the decayed appearance of the pots as they reflect everyday life.
