Nambu Ironware is a traditional Japanese cast iron craft from Morioka, Japan, with a history of over 400 years.

It is best known for its heavy, durable cast iron kettles and teapots, often decorated with the arare (hailstone) pattern—small raised dots that help distribute heat evenly and add texture.

Nambu ironware is designed for everyday use. Cast iron kettles are valued not only for their long life, but also because water boiled in them naturally contains iron that the body can easily absorb.

Today, Nambu ironware combines old craftsmanship with modern convenience, including IH-compatible designs, and is widely appreciated in the U.S. and around the world as both a functional kitchen tool and a piece of Japanese heritage.
