Discover traditional Japanese hearth cooking with the Yamato Hagama 10. Crafted from heavy cast iron with a gently rounded base, this rice pot creates natural convection as it heats, so warmth spreads evenly through every grain. A heavy wooden lid builds pressure inside to lock in heat, letting you cook tender, fluffy rice over a standard gas stove, just as it would have been cooked over an old-fashioned hearth.
Yamato has been crafting cast ironware since the Edo period, helping shape Japanese food culture for generations. This 5.5-liter pot holds up to 1.6 kilograms of rice (about one sho), but its uses go well beyond rice: simmer a hearty vegetable stew, or cook a whole head of cabbage in broth for a comforting one-pot meal.
This brand new set includes the cast iron hagama pot with two hanging handles, a wooden lid, and a natural straw base to keep the rounded pot steady on any surface. The pot measures 300 mm in diameter and 173 mm in height, the wooden lid measures 240 mm in diameter and 85 mm in height, and the full set weighs approximately 5.3 kilograms. It brings generations of Japanese craftsmanship, along with warm, rustic style, straight to your table.
