Ginpo Hana Mishima Donabe Japanese Clay Pot - 25cm (Size 8)
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 8 pot (2.0L) is the everyday household size, serving three to four — the go-to for sukiyaki, mizutaki and weeknight nabe. The thick clay heats gently, then keeps the pot simmering at the table long after it leaves the stove.
What's Included
- 1 x Ginpo Hana Mishima Donabe with Lid - 25cm (Size 8)
Key Features
- Iconic Hana Mishima Design: The beloved traditional floral pattern on a classic light grey glaze, emblematic of authentic Japanese donabe.
- Everyday Size 8 for 3–4: The most-used household size — big enough for a shared meal, light enough for one cook to carry.
- 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.
