Ginpo Kikka Donabe Rice Pot with Double Lids - 2 Cups - Brown

The Ginpo 'Kikka' (菊花) series, named for the elegant chrysanthemum pattern on its lid, combines modern style with traditional craftsmanship. This rice pot is designed to go from the kitchen straight to the dining table, serving as a centrepiece for your meal.

This 2-cup model cooks rice for one or two people. Its double-lid system builds gentle pressure and prevents boiling over, while the thick, heat-retaining clay body cooks each grain evenly. It is also excellent for making porridge (okayu) and soups. This is the brown-lid version; the same pot is also available with a blue lid.
