Authentic Japanese Ironware | 18cm Diameter | Model: 20036
Experience the timeless tradition of Japanese "Rock Casting" with this exquisite Sukiyaki pan from Iwachu, the world’s leading manufacturer of Nambu Tekki (Southern Cast Iron). Handcrafted in Morioka, Japan, this pan is not just cookware—it is a piece of functional art that has been refined over 110 years of artisan history.
Nambu Tekki is celebrated for its unique "rock-like" texture and incredible performance. Unlike mass-produced pans, Iwachu ironware undergoes a meticulous casting process that creates a superior cooking surface.
Superior Heat Retention: The thick, high-quality cast iron distributes heat evenly and retains it longer than almost any other material.1 This is essential for Sukiyaki, ensuring your broth simmers consistently at the table.
Natural Iron Enrichment: Cooking in Nambu Tekki naturally releases small amounts of divalent iron (2$Fe^{2+}$) into your food—a highly absorbable form of iron that provides health benefits with every meal.3
The "Shu Xi Shao" (Sukiyaki) Specialist: The D18cm x H6.5cm dimensions are specifically engineered for Sukiyaki and Shabu-Shabu. The depth allows for generous portions of cabbage, tofu, and beef while maintaining a concentrated, flavorful broth.
Indestructible Durability: With proper care, an Iwachu pan will last for generations. It develops a natural non-stick "seasoning" over time, improving the more you use it.4
Double Loop Handles: Traditional "twin ear" handles provide a secure grip and a classic aesthetic for stovetop-to-table serving.
Artisan Texture: The exterior features the iconic dark, pebbled finish characteristic of authentic Southern Japanese ironware.
Versatile Cooking: While designed for Sukiyaki, it is excellent for searing steaks, frying eggs, or making individual hot pots.
