Ginpo Hana Mishima Donabe Japanese Clay Pot - 18cm (Size 6)

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 compact Size 6 pot (0.85L) is a one-person donabe — the classic vessel for nabeyaki udon, okayu rice porridge or a solo hot pot, cooked on the stove and served in the same pot. The thick clay holds its heat, so the last mouthful at the table is still warm.

What's Included

• 1 x Ginpo Hana Mishima Donabe with Lid - 18cm (Size 6)

Key Features

• Iconic Hana Mishima Design: The beloved traditional floral pattern on a classic light grey glaze, emblematic of authentic Japanese donabe.
• One-Person Size 6: Made for single-serve dishes — nabeyaki udon, ramen, okayu, or a personal nabe.
• 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.
