Japanese Cast Iron Kettle -TETSUBIN-

Food & Recipes

You may think that TETSUBIN is a Japanese cast iron Kyusu teapot, but, it is not true.

TETSUBIN is precisely a cast iron kettle, not a Kyusu teapot.

TETSUBIN-Japanese cast iron kettle- is today getting popular since they can provide rich mild water and bring classic style.

If you are interested in the Japanese cast-iron kettle, take a peek at its history and benefits.

TETSUBIN IS THE JAPANESE CAST IRON KETTLE

Unfortunately, there is confusion between TETSUBIN and TETSU KYUSU in Japan and also worldwide.

Most Japanese cast iron KYUSU teapots introduced as “TETSUBIN” on Amazon are precisely not TETSUBIN.

TETSUBIN refers to a cast iron kettle and cookware to boil water as you know.

TETSUBIN is a kettle that can be used on a stovetop and fireplace and is bigger than the TETSU KYUSU teapot.

TETSUBIN is known for the benefit which provides iron in boiled water.

Nambu Tekki refers to ironware produced mainly in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture.

It is probably the most famous casting production in Japan and has been designated as a national traditional craft.

HEALTHY AND DELICIOUS LIFE WITH TETSUBIN

Actually, the reason I found out about TETSUBIN-the cast iron kettle- is because I began to drink more boiled water for a healthy life.

One of the Japanese healthy life tips recommends drinking warm (hot) water called “Sayu” in Japanese rather than drinking cold water.

Tetsubin provides mild rich water.

When the water boils in the iron kettle, the iron ions react and remove the chlorine.

You’ll see brown or white stains attached inside the kettle after use for a while.

These are mineral deposits of various substances in the water besides it is the key to making more delicious water in the TETSUBIN.

They also help to prevent the inside of the kettle from rust.

Therefore, TETSUBIN will make more mild rich water as long as used.

Because of TETSUBIN, you can make more delicious tea and coffee.

Also, the water changed by TETSUBIN can be used for making DASHI.

In addition, hot water and food cooked in ironware contain iron dissolved in the ironware.

Since it is bivalent iron that is easily absorbed by the body, it is effective for the efficient intake of iron.
