My friend who lives in Morioka took me to your shop last year. I purchased a lovely Mosquito coil burner. This year I want to return and buy a teapot. Your products are very beautifully designed.

Thank you for sharing your story. I lived in Japan for 4 years before I started cooking with cast iron. It is wonderful to see the appreciation and care taken in making a simple and practical tool made beautiful.
