Cook Rice the Way It Was Meant to Be

Experience the ancient art of Japanese cooking with the Nambu Tekki ICHI Cast Iron Rice Cooker — a masterpiece of traditional Iwate craftsmanship. Designed to cook up to 3 cups of rice with a perfectly fitted 20cm wooden lid, this cast iron pot delivers fluffy, evenly cooked rice every time.

Nambu Tekki (南部鉄器) ironware has been crafted in Japan's Iwate Prefecture for over 400 years. The thick cast iron walls retain and distribute heat evenly, locking in moisture and natural sweetness for restaurant-quality results at home.

Why Choose a Cast Iron Rice Cooker?

Unlike electric rice cookers, a cast iron tetsu kama (鉄釜) gives you full control over heat — start high to bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer for fluffy rice, or crank it up at the end for the coveted crispy bottom layer known as okoge. It's the traditional Japanese method, and once you try it, you'll never go back.
