Natsume is a representative tetsubin from the Chobundo brand, which resembles the shape of a jujube fruit. It has been crafted for over 50 years since its first generation and originally featured a plum blossom pattern. Even today, the plum blossom design is carried on as the knob on the lid. This tetsubin is known for its easy-to-pour spout, which allows for precise coffee pouring. The spout's tip is meticulously finished with a file, ensuring excellent water drainage as a distinctive feature. The handle remains fixed in place and won't tilt to the side, making it easy to store on shelves. Please measure the size of your storage space before placing an order.

Arare Tetsubin
This is a traditional tetsubin with lacquer baked onto the cast surface. The surface is adorned with a beautiful "arare" pattern, which is reminiscent of hail. Arare is said to depict the scenery of moisture in the clouds transforming into white ice particles and falling to the ground. By adding the arare pattern, it increases the tetsubin's surface area, resulting in better heat retention. The knob on the lid is designed in the shape of an eggplant. In Japanese, "eggplant" is pronounced as "nasu," which sounds similar to the word for "to accomplish" or "to achieve." So, it carries the auspicious meaning of "accomplishing great things." With its simple and practical design, you can enjoy using this tetsubin for a long time, forming a lasting attachment to it. Video 1Video 2Video 3
