Ginpo Hana Mishima Donabe Japanese Clay Pot - 22cm (Size 7)

The Hana Mishima series is one of the most iconic styles of donabe, instantly recognisable by its light grey finish and traditional floral (hana) pattern.

This Size 7 pot (1.5L) serves two to three — the right scale for a couple's small hot pot, oden for two, or late-night noodles, without hauling out a family-sized pot. The thick clay heats gently and keeps the meal warm at the table.

What's Included

  • 1 x Ginpo Hana Mishima Donabe with Lid - 22cm (Size 7)

Key Features

  • Iconic Hana Mishima Design: The beloved traditional floral pattern on a classic light grey glaze, emblematic of authentic Japanese donabe.
  • Sized for 2–3: The 22cm Size 7 suits couples and small gatherings without the bulk of a family pot.
  • Superior Heat Retention: High-quality clay heats slowly and retains heat exceptionally well.
  • Lead & Cadmium-Free: Crafted to meet strict Japanese safety standards.
  • Made in Japan: Authentic Banko ware from Yokkaichi, a region famous for durable donabe since the 18th century.

Seasoning & Care

Before first use, perform medome (rice porridge seasoning) to seal the clay and prevent cracking or leaking. Full step-by-step instructions are in our donabe user guide.

  • Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g. do not put a cold pot on high heat, or place a hot pot on a cold or wet surface).
  • Hand wash only once cooled. Do not soak for extended periods.
  • Dry thoroughly before storage to prevent mould.

Use & Care
  • User guide: Everything from first use to everyday care.
  • First use: Simmer rice porridge in your new donabe first — the starch seals the porous clay and strengthens the pot.
  • Before cooking: Make sure the outside base is completely dry before it goes on the flame — a wet base can crack.
  • Never heat empty: Always have liquid or food in the pot before heating.
  • Avoid sudden temperature changes: Don't run cold water into a hot pot — let it cool first.
  • Storage: Dry thoroughly before putting away to prevent mould in the porous clay.
Good to Know
  • How donabe is made: The special clay behind these pots and why it matters.
  • How donabe ages: Fine lines and colour changes over time aren't flaws — they're character.
  • Heat source: Donabe is made for open flame and shines on a gas burner — it's not suitable for induction cooktops.
  • Donabe recipes: Hotpots, rice and more to get you started.
