We're thrilled to share that our Kamado-san Double-Lid Donabe Rice Cooker was selected for The New York Times and Wirecutter Holiday Gift Guide 2026! Featured under "Perfect Rice," Kamado-san was recommended for Appliances at Wirecutter, who praised how quickly it makes fluffy rice once the grains have soaked, thanks to its special inner lid and concave shape that traps steam.
Handmade by Nagatani-en in Iga, Japan, Kamado-san is the donabe that started TOIRO, and it is still one of our favorite ways to bring delicious, glossy rice to the table every day. Thank you to Evan Dent, Wirecutter and The New York Times for including Kamado-san in this year's guide. It makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves rice!
Happy Donabe Life!
