(Manufacturer: Oisei Foundry) Mizusawa Nanbu ironware has a history of 850 years, and you can enjoy its dignified beauty, weightiness, and deep flavor. Water boiled in Nambu ironware stays hot and smooth. This is said to be because traces of iron dissolved in the water turn into iron ions, which react with chlorine and break down. It's recommended for use in cooking as well as for tea and coffee. The iron that dissolves from Nambu ironware into hot water is called "divalent iron," a type of iron ion that is easily absorbed by the human body. Using hot water or drinks boiled in Nambu ironware will help replenish your iron. This is especially recommended for women who want to be careful about anemia! Because each item is handmade, it may take one to two weeks for delivery depending on the situation at the time of order. If you are in a hurry, please contact us. Mizusawa Nanbu Ironware has a long history, dating back 850 years to when Fujiwara no Kiyohira, a devout saint with deep ties to the Hiraizumi culture of the three generations of the Fujiwara clan at the height of its glory, made a heartfelt wish to build Chusonji Temple to console the soldiers who had fallen in war, and ordered a metalworker invited from Kyoto to create many Buddhist altar implements.The reason why cast ironware is still so beloved today, even in a world flooded with metal products, is because of the reliable traditional techniques cultivated over a long history, the warmth of iron that permeates its weight, and the many advantages that cast iron products have.
