【Voltage Compatibility】
When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction.
【Plug Type】
Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type).
Please use a conversion adapter if necessary.
【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】
A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device’s requirements.
A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage.
Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product.
【Liability】
We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer.
This is an iron kettle made by Nanbu Tekki, Oshu/Iwate Prefecture. Nanbu iron kettles have excellent heat conductivity and heat retention due to their uniform thickness. The iron content in the water boiled in an iron kettle dissolves, giving it a mellow taste. Due to its beautiful appearance, it can be used not only as a tool but also as an interior decoration. OIGEN's iron kettles undergo a more traditional rust prevention process using a kettle firing process. In addition, since the interior is unpainted and unglazed, it is easier for more detailed scale to build up, so you can enjoy growing your own iron kettle. Please use it carefully for a long time.
◎A typical iron kettle with the traditional Nanbu iron kettle pattern "Arale". The Arale pattern has been inherited from our predecessors' outstanding wisdom and detailed design, as the iron kettle becomes thicker and more effective at retaining heat. The vines are collapsible type for convenient storage. It's neither too big nor too small, making it easy for both men and women to pour. Recommended for those looking for a traditional design, compact and easy-to-handle iron kettle. (*Not compatible with IH)
