How to care Tetsu-Kyusu

Note

You may be wondering how to warm Japanese Sake with Tetsu teapot since it never can be able to be used on the stovetop.

There are two ways that you can do it. One is just transferring warm/hot sake into the Tetsu teapot, and another is putting a tokkuri (ceramic sake decanter) in the tetsu teapot. The cast iron has great temperature retention, so these are general ways to keep Japanese Sake warm.

How about using a Japanese cast-iron kettle to heat sake?

When sake is put into it, iron will elute and color sake yellowish, and the taste will be slightly twisted. If you don’t mind it or even some people like it that way, it’s definitely not a problem.
