Tokoname Yakishime

Raw Beauty in Masterful Form - Discover the timeless art of Tokoname with our Yakishime Kyusu – a teapot that embodies the Japanese ideal of wabi-sabi: the beauty of the simple, natural and imperfect.

Made in Tokoname, one of Japan's six ancient kiln areas, this teapot is an expression of centuries of ceramic tradition. The Yakishime technique involves firing the jug without glaze, resulting in a natural, earthy surface that highlights the inherent beauty of the clay material. This method gives each jug a unique texture and color tone, making each piece a unique work of art.

With a capacity of 330 ml, this kyusu is ideal for brewing Japanese green teas such as sencha and gyokuro. The wide opening makes both preparation and cleaning easier, while the built-in fine-mesh strainer ensures a clear and clean infusion, even with fine-leaf teas like fukamushi sencha.

The unglazed surface allows the teapot to develop a natural patina over time, deepening its aesthetics and enhancing the flavor profile of the tea with each use. This makes Tokoname Yakishime not just a brewing tool, but a companion in your tea ceremonial journey.

Let Tokoname Yakishime Become an integral part of your daily tea ritual and experience how traditional Japanese craftsmanship can elevate every cup of tea into a moment of stillness and reflection.
