About

Donabe should translate to ‘warm and fuzzy blanket’ because it soothes your soul. The name actually refers to the earthenware pot that’s used to make steaming hot pots, rice and stews. Crafted from a highly durable clay that can sit over a flame without cracking, it is prized for maintaining an even temperature while cooking and staying hot at the table and is perfect for social gatherings.
