Gift Wrapping Service
Make your gift unforgettable from the moment it arrives. Our Japanese-style wrapping service transforms your order into a beautifully presented package — high-quality paper featuring traditional motifs of florals, fans, and classic geometric patterns, tissue lining to protect fragile pieces, and a coordinating ribbon finish.
$4.90 per gift wrap — one beautifully wrapped box. Our team selects the right box size for what you've bought and combines multiple items into a single box wherever they fit. Wrapping for multiple recipients? Simply add this service to your cart once for each gift.
Before You Order — Please Read
1. Not all items can be gift wrapped. Look for the "Gift wrapping available" note on the product page. Larger items such as rice cookers and konro or hibachi grills cannot be wrapped due to their size or original packaging.
2. Want only some items wrapped? If your order contains both gift items and self-purchases — say, 10 items but only 5 are gifts — please leave a note in the order instructions at checkout telling us which items to wrap. Alternatively, email us after placing your order, or place your gifts as a separate order.
3. Need more than one box? Each gift wrap covers one box (largest 43.5 × 31 × 15 cm — roughly wok-size). If your items won't fit in a single box, we'll contact you before dispatch — you can either add another gift wrap ($4.90 per additional box) or have your order split differently.
How to Add Gift Wrapping
- Look for the "Gift wrapping available" note on eligible product pages.
- Add this Gift Wrap service to your cart — once for each gift / box you'd like wrapped.
- Include your personalised gift message in the order instructions field at checkout — we'll add it to a card inside the package.
- We'll choose the right box, wrap with care, and include a gift invoice that shows the contents without any pricing.

River Light Kiwame Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Frypan - 26cm
The Kiwame ('Ultimate') series comes from River Light, a Japanese maker that produces carbon steel pans and nothing else. This 26cm frypan gives a 17.5cm flat cooking base with room for three to four pieces side by side.
The steel is nitrided — a heat treatment that hardens the surface against rust — so the pan is ready to season out of the box and easier to look after than untreated iron.
What's Included
- 1 x River Light Kiwame Frypan - 26cm
Key Features
- Premium Nitrided Carbon Steel: The steel undergoes a special nitriding heat treatment, creating a hardened, corrosion-resistant, and durable surface.
- Superb Heat Distribution: Heats quickly and evenly, providing precise temperature control for searing, frying, and sautéing.
- Detachable Wooden Handle: The handle can be removed for compact, easy storage.
- Induction Compatible: Suitable for use on all cooktops, including induction, gas, and electric.
Seasoning & Care
Like all carbon steel cookware, this pan needs a quick season before first use to start building its natural nonstick patina — the nitrided surface makes this easier than on untreated iron. Full step-by-step instructions are in our carbon steel user guide.
About River Light
River Light has spent more than seventy years on a single material. That focus produced the Kiwame series: traditional iron pans brought to modern kitchens — rust-resistant, induction ready and easier to season — for home cooks and professionals alike.
