The History of Nambu Ironware

Starting from a small ironware workshop in a local community, we have faced numerous trials through the Meiji and Taisho eras, including production shutdowns due to war and changes in lifestyle. Nevertheless, we continue to challenge ourselves on the solid foundation of tradition.

The manufacturing process of Nambu ironware

We create our products using iron, a natural material gifted to us by nature.
Through 65 processes carried out by skilled craftsmen's hands.
It is said that it takes at least 15 years to become a fully qualified artisan.
Without the awareness that there are always customers who will use our work, we cannot create quality products.
The "form" and "functionality" that have remained for 400 years have been accepted and passed down to this day.
After use, these tools return to nature—they are earth-friendly, sustainable implements.

Growing Cookware

As you boil water and use it regularly, the chlorine in tap water will gradually turn the inside white.
With daily use, white mineral deposits will form after about 1 to 1.5 years.
Not only does this make tea taste mellower, but there are also stories that using it as dilution water makes sake sweeter.
Once you have nurtured your iron kettle to develop these white mineral deposits, first try it with plain hot water.

Nambu Ironware

Nanbu Tekki is produced in Morioka City and Oshu City. It is said to have originated in the mid-17th century when the lord of the Nanbu domain invited a kettle craftsman from Kyoto to Morioka to create tea ceremony kettles. Subsequently, as one of the domain's major industries, it continued to develop by inviting metalworkers and kettle craftsmen from across the country. The "forms" and "functionality" that have remained from 400 years ago have been accepted and passed down to this day.
