Good product but long wait time for delivery to US. Because of wrenches thrown into trade wheels by Trump administration, my order was held in custom clearance stage for weeks. Akazuki was awesome. They replied my message and the item was well packaged. Top notch Japanese item and customer service.
Thank you

Authentic Nanbu Tekki | Handcrafted Green Cast Iron Teapot
A timeless piece of Japanese history for your tabletop. This Made-in-Japan Nanbu (Nambu) Tekki teapot is a masterclass in ironwork from the Iwate region. Finished in a stunning, earthy green, this compact 300 ml (10.1 oz) pot is specifically designed for the perfect two-cup service. The heavy cast iron construction provides extraordinary heat retention, while the enameled interior offers a modern, rust-resistant surface that preserves the delicate notes of your favorite Sencha or Gyokuro.

- Centuries of Craftsmanship: Nanbu Tekki is Japan’s most prestigious ironware, known for its incredible durability and distinctive textured aesthetic.
- Precision Steeping: Includes a removable stainless steel mesh infuser basket that sits deep in the pot, ensuring leaves steep evenly even when making smaller quantities.
- Superior Thermal Mass: Unlike ceramic or glass, the thick iron walls keep your tea at the ideal sipping temperature for the duration of your tea time.
- Drip-Free Spout: Expertly balanced and hand-finished to provide a graceful, controlled pour.
Steeping Pot Only: DO NOT use on a stovetop, open flame, or microwave.
High direct heat will crack the internal enamel coating. Hand wash only with warm water—strictly no detergents, soaps, salts, or oils. After use, wipe the exterior with a dry cloth while the pot is still warm to maintain its luster, and ensure the interior is bone-dry before storage to prevent rust on the rim.
