Saji Tokusa Mini Donabe Japanese Clay Pot - 18.5cm

The Saji Tokusa is a one-person donabe whose lid flips over to become your serving bowl — cook udon, soup or a rice dish on the stove, carry the pot to the table, and eat from the lid. One pot, one bowl, nothing else to wash.

The lid carries the timeless tokusa pattern — delicate blue lines radiating outwards, a classic symbol of prosperity in Japanese design.

What's Included

• 1 x Saji Tokusa Mini Donabe with Dual-Purpose Lid - 18.5cm

Key Features

• Lid Becomes Your Bowl: Flip the lid over and it is a personal serving bowl — no separate dish needed.
• One-Person Size: The 520ml capacity suits a single serve of noodles, rice dishes or a personal nabe.
• Classic Tokusa Pattern: The traditional blue and white striped design brings an authentic Japanese aesthetic to the table.
• Superior Heat Retention: High-quality clay keeps the meal warm to the last bite.
• Made in Japan: Authentic craftsmanship from Japan's renowned pottery regions.

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. Note: as the lid has no steam vent (to allow it to function as a bowl), it may need to be slightly offset during some cooking processes to allow steam to escape.

• 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.
