The donabe gradually builds the heat when it’s heated, then it cools down very slowly after the heat is turned off. This, along with the glaze that promotes the far infrared rays (FIR – the same effect as how the glowing charcoal cook ingredients without direct flame) when it’s heated, allow the donabe to produce a gentle, steady heat that penetrates to the core of each ingredient.

Gorgeously and lavishly photographed, Donabe highlights authentic Japanese Donabe cooking, with beloved recipes and updated classics that showcase the beauty and versatility of these traditional kitchen tools. Donabe cooking has been refined over centuries into a multifaceted and simple, one-vessel method of cooking that can be used for rice cooking, simmering, steaming, or even smoking. In Donabe, Tokyo native and donabe professional Naoko Moore presents a wide array of Japanese home-style dishes, such as Peel-and-Eat Shrimp with Green Tea and Shochu and Sake Lovers’ Ginger Pork Sukiyaki, along with all the intriguing stories, useful information and tips about donabe. DONABE represents Naoko’s passion, experience, and knowledge about donabe and donabe cooking. This book also includes several chef-style California- inspired dishes including Crab Rice with Charred Scallion and Tat Soi – all rich in flavor and simple to prepare, by a noted chef Kyle Connaughton.

The clay from this region is naturally highly heat-resistant and has been used for open-flame cooking for many hundreds of years. This clay consists of a high level of pre-historic fossilized microorganisms that leave the clay porous when fired. The porous body gives the donabe remarkable heat-retention ability. The donabe gradually builds the heat when it’s heated, then it cools down very slowly after the heat is turned off. This, along with the glaze that promotes the far infrared rays (FIR – the same effect as how the glowing charcoal cook ingredients without direct flame) when it’s heated, allow the donabe to produce a gentle, steady heat that penetrates to the core of each ingredient. The effect is ingredients are cooked evenly with all the flavors sealed inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAuthentic Iga-yaki pottery by Nagatani-en\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIga-yaki (Iga-style) pottery is one of Japan’s most highly-regarded traditional ceramics and is said to have originated in Iga, Mie-Prefecture in the late 7th Century. This donabe is made by Nagatani-en, a leading producer of authentic Iga-yaki pottery since 1832. At Nagatani-en, each donabe is made by hand with care and it takes about 2 weeks to produce an individual donabe.

It stays cold for a long time with the effect of “heat of vaporization” (a little science here…when the moisture in the wet donabe evaporates, the energy spent for the evaporation cools down the donabe as a result).

The clay from this region is naturally highly heat-resistant and has been used for open-flame cooking for many hundreds of years. This clay consists of a high level of pre-historic fossilized microorganisms that leave the clay porous when fired. The porous body gives the donabe remarkable heat-retention ability. The donabe gradually builds the heat when it’s heated, then it cools down very slowly after the heat is turned off. This, along with the glaze that promotes the far infrared rays (FIR – the same effect as how the glowing charcoal cook ingredients without direct flame) when it’s heated, allow the donabe to produce a gentle, steady heat that penetrates to the core of each ingredient. The effect is ingredients are cooked evenly with all the flavors sealed inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAuthentic Iga-yaki pottery by Nagatani-en\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIga-yaki (Iga-style) pottery is one of Japan’s most highly-regarded traditional ceramics and is said to have originated in Iga, Mie-Prefecture in late 7th Century.

(The ideal heating level may vary depending on the type of burner.) The bottom of Kamado-san is about 1.5 times thicker than a regular donabe and its porous clay body “breathes” during cooking. So, the clay builds the heat slowly and gently starts cooking the rice. Then, once the heat is built, it brings the even and steady heat distribution. Meanwhile, the unique feature of double-lid gives the effect of pressure-cooking and helps prevent the contents from boiling over. The thick porous body has an extra-high level of heat retention ability, so after the heat is turned off, Kamado-san slowly cools down and continues to steam-cook the rice during the resting time.

The clay from this region is naturally highly heat-resistant and has been used for open-flame cooking for many hundreds of years. This clay consists of a high level of pre-historic fossilized microorganisms that leave the clay porous when fired. The porous body gives the donabe remarkable heat-retention ability. The donabe gradually builds the heat when it’s heated, then it cools down very slowly after the heat is turned off. This, along with the glaze that promotes the far infrared rays (FIR – the same effect as how the glowing charcoal cook ingredients without direct flame) when it’s heated, allow the donabe to produce a gentle, steady heat that penetrates to the core of each ingredient. The effect is ingredients are cooked evenly with all the flavors sealed inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAuthentic Iga-yaki pottery by Nagatani-en\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIga-yaki (Iga-style) pottery is one of Japan’s most highly-regarded traditional ceramics and is said to have originated in Iga, Mie-Prefecture in the late 7th Century. This donabe is made by Nagatani-en, a leading producer of authentic Iga-yaki pottery since 1832. At Nagatani-en, each donabe is made by hand with care and it takes about 2 weeks to produce an individual donabe. Nagatani-en’s Iga-yaki products have been loved by both professionals and home cooks in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eYour donabe develops its character as it ages\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you use your donabe over and over, it develops character and that’s something to be welcomed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe very thin cracks could appear on the surface (glaze) of the donabe.

The clay from this region is naturally highly heat-resistant and has been used for open-flame cooking for many hundreds of years. This clay consists of a high level of pre-historic fossilized microorganisms that leave the clay porous when fired. The porous body gives the donabe remarkable heat-retention ability. The donabe gradually builds the heat when it’s heated, then it cools down very slowly after the heat is turned off. This, along with the glaze that promotes the far infrared rays (FIR – the same effect as how the glowing charcoal cook ingredients without direct flame) when it’s heated, allow the donabe to produce a gentle, steady heat that penetrates to the core of each ingredient. The effect is ingredients are cooked evenly with all the flavors sealed inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAuthentic Iga-yaki pottery by Nagatani-en\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIga-yaki (Iga-style) pottery is one of Japan’s most highly-regarded traditional ceramics and is said to have originated in Iga, Mie-Prefecture in the late 7th Century.

Finished with a classic Tenmoku (天目) glaze, an iron-based glaze known for its deep black to brown-black tones, the donabe has a warm, rustic appearance. The glossy bowl sits against the soft matte finish of the pot, and the exposed clay at the base and rim adds a natural accent.

Yokkaichi Banko-yaki was designated as a Traditional Craft of Japan in 1979. The region became especially renowned for donabe through the development of highly heat-resistant clay suited for cooking over direct heat. Today, approximately 80% of Japan’s domestically produced donabe are made in the Yokkaichi area, making Banko-yaki an important part of Japan’s donabe culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour donabe develops its character as it ages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you use your donabe over and over, it develops character and that’s something to be welcomed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe very thin cracks could appear on the surface (glaze) of the donabe.

This is a natural part of the donabe developing character. If the bottom darkens very quickly, the heat may be too high, so we suggest using a lower heat setting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"content2\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach donabe is handmade by Nagatani-en's craftsmen, so the color and glaze coverage vary slightly from piece to piece.
