Ginpo Hana Mishima Single-Lid Donabe Rice Pot - 2 Cups

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 2-cup single-lid model cooks rice to fluffy perfection: the thick clay walls and heavy, tight-fitting lid trap steam and give gentle, even heat distribution. It also suits porridge (okayu), stews, and soups for one or two people.

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.
