Ginpo Hana Mishima Donabe Japanese Clay Pot - 28cm (Size 9)
Ginpo Hana Mishima Donabe Japanese Clay Pot - 28cm (Size 9)
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 large Size 9 pot (3.2L) is the family and entertaining size, serving four to five — built for the shared hot pot at the centre of the table, from mizutaki to a full nabe party. The thick clay cooks gently and keeps everything warm through the meal. This is the standard version for gas and electric cooktops; the same pot is also available as an induction-compatible version.
What's Included
- 1 x Ginpo Hana Mishima Donabe with Lid - 28cm (Size 9)
Steam with it: This pot is steamer compatible — add the Touga Steamer Plate - 23cm (Size 9) to steam vegetables, dumplings and fish above the broth.

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.
