The Beauty of a Traditional Donabe

Your donabe will develop a beautiful network of fine lines (crazing) as you use it. This is a celebrated sign of its authentic, handmade nature. Learn more.

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

Embrace the heart of Japanese home cooking with the Ginpo Hana Mishima Donabe. The Hana Mishima series is one of the most iconic and beloved styles of donabe, instantly recognisable by its light grey finish and traditional floral (hana) pattern. It is the quintessential Japanese clay pot, cherished for its versatility and timeless design.

This 'Size 7' pot is perfect for serving two to three people, making it ideal for noodle soups, stews, porridge (okayu), or shared hot pots. The thick, high-quality clay provides excellent heat retention, cooking food gently and keeping it warm long after it has been brought to the table. This is the standard version for gas and electric cooktops; an induction-compatible model is also available.

Key Features

  • Iconic Hana Mishima Design: Features the beloved traditional floral pattern on a classic light grey glaze, emblematic of authentic Japanese donabe.
  • Versatile for 2-3 People: The 22cm 'Size 7' is a great all-purpose size for small families or couples, perfect for stews, soups, and hot pots.
  • Superior Heat Retention: Made from high-quality clay, the donabe heats slowly and retains heat exceptionally well, perfect for serving dishes that stay warm.
  • Lead & Cadmium-Free: Crafted to meet strict Japanese safety standards, ensuring your food is healthy and safe.
  • Made in Japan: Authentic Banko ware from Yokkaichi, a region famous for producing high-quality, 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.
