●Seieido is a long-established company with over 150 years of history, founded in 1852 in Mizusawa City, one of the two major production areas of Nambu ironware (Morioka and Mizusawa). While inheriting the ancient techniques of Nambu ironware, Seieido actively incorporates modern technology, winning numerous awards, including the Good Design Award, for its superior functionality and outstanding modern design. The series, combining excellent technology with the warmth of natural materials, resonates with the Japanese spirit of harmony and enjoys high popularity.
●Ironware retains heat better than aluminum and other materials, making it suitable for brewing tea. Furthermore, iron dissolves from the surface in the form of ions that are easily absorbed into the body, so you are naturally replenishing iron, which is very good for your health.
●This iron kettle, Maromi Arare, is a charming iron kettle with a rounded, soft shape and a traditional Arare pattern. Arare is a pattern unique to Nambu ironware, an idea devised by our ancestors who knew that increasing the surface area of the iron kettle would increase its heat retention. Enjoy a rich and flavorful experience brewing mellow and delicious Japanese tea with this iron kettle. Of course, it's also delicious for brewing black tea or coffee. It's a small size that's just right for a standard home and easy to use. (Makiko Nakamura)
Traditional Arare pattern unique to Nambu ironware
A recommended item that is easy to handle due to its small size
It is said that water boiled in a Nambu iron kettle has a milder taste, with less of the chlorine smell of tap water.
The iron from the Nambu iron kettle is released in the form of ferrous iron, which is easily absorbed by the body, so even a small amount is absorbed well and is said to be effective for iron supplementation.
A cute, rounded design.
