This is the ultimate rice pot created by a Banko ware craftsman who has studied heat-resistant ceramics and earthenware for more than 50 years, with the sole purpose of "cooking delicious rice." The aroma of the cooked rice is just like rice cooked in a kamado.
The earthenware pot made of Banko-yaki clay, which has excellent heat resistance, heat storage, and moisture retention properties, allows the rice to cook slowly even over high heat, and the far-infrared ray effect makes the rice fluffy and shiny. Cooking rice in an earthenware pot allows excess steam to escape, so the residual heat cooks the rice to its core, making the grains stand out.
The thick wooden lid is heavy with moisture from the steam and the double lid enhances the pressure effect. The aroma of the sawara cypress gently spreads and enhances the delicious taste of the rice.
From daily white rice to rice cooked with seasonal ingredients, why not cook your favorite rice in a special earthenware pot? It is sure to make your regular mealtime more enjoyable.

It can cook 1-3 go cups (180-540 ml) of rice. The desired consistency can be achieved by adjusting the amount of water and steaming time. Recommended cooking time is 8 minutes over medium heat with the rice and the same number of cups of water as the rice, 8 minutes over low heat once the rice comes to a boil, and 10 minutes of steaming time after the heat is turned off. An instruction manual with simple recipes is included. Video
