Kotobuki Japanese Hot Pot, Medium Size, Gray

This donabe "hot pot" is a traditional Japanese earthenware vessel used for making "nabemono", a comforting one-pot meal enjoyed during the winter months. In Japan, it is common to place a portable stove in the center of the table and fill the pot with broth and various ingredients. There are countless variations of nabemono, with broths ranging from simple water with dried kelp to richer options like chicken stock or miso. Ingredients such as seafood, poultry, pork, vegetables, tofu, and udon noodles are commonly used. Nabemono is designed to be a communal dining experience, with everyone seated around the table and selecting items directly from the pot. This particular pot features a traditional gray mishima design and has a 9-3/4-inch diameter, making it large enough to serve 3 to 4 people. It should be hand washed to maintain its quality and craftsmanship. This donabe hot pot is proudly made in Japan, embodying the rich culinary traditions of the country.
