Sawada Tomohiro Tokoname-yaki Teapot

Tokoname-yaki is a traditional Japanese pottery style known for its high-quality, iron-rich clay. This material is prized for its excellent heat retention and porous nature, which can subtly soften the flavor of your tea over time as the clay seasons with use.

The integrated ceramic mesh is precision-crafted to handle fine-leaf teas like Fukamushi sencha without clogging. It provides a clean, smooth pour while allowing the leaves to expand fully inside the pot for optimal flavor extraction.

Yes, it is designed for daily rituals, though it requires gentle care. Because it is handcrafted ceramic, it is not dishwasher or microwave safe, so you should hand wash it with warm water and avoid harsh detergents.

The teapot has a 240ml capacity, which is perfectly sized for one or two people. It is designed for intimate tea service, allowing you to brew a concentrated cup or two smaller servings at a time.

The traditional side-handle, or 'yokode' style, is ergonomically designed to provide better leverage and control when pouring. It allows for a steady, precise stream, making it easier to pour the last drop of tea without spilling.
