Tokoname ware – Red Clay Straight-Sided Teapot
Handcrafted by a Certified Traditional Craftsman – 250 cc
We are pleased to introduce a red clay (shudei) teapot handcrafted by a certified traditional craftsman of Tokoname ware.
“Shudei,” which can be considered synonymous with Tokoname ware, contains a high amount of iron in the clay. This iron content helps soften the astringency of tea, allowing you to enjoy a mellow and well-rounded flavor.
This teapot is made with a flattened shape to better bring out the flavor of tea.
Its wide diameter allows the tea leaves to open more quickly and spread fully, enabling a richer and more delicious extraction.
Even with a small amount of water, the tea leaves can expand easily, making it easier to draw out their full flavor.
Because the tea leaves open quickly and expand widely, this teapot is also suitable for making cold-brewed tea (mizudashi sencha).
Cold-brewed tea is sencha steeped in water rather than hot water; by not using hot water, bitterness is reduced, resulting in sencha with enhanced sweetness and umami.
With a capacity of 250 cc, this teapot offers a comfortably generous volume.
Since metal strainers can affect the taste of tea, a finely crafted ceramic strainer is built into the inside of the spout.
Both this strainer and the teapot body itself are entirely handmade, infused with the refined skills of an experienced craftsman.
Because the mouth diameter, overall width, and base diameter are nearly the same, the inside of the teapot is easy to wash and dry, allowing it to remain clean at all times and ensuring excellent hygiene.
Wheel-thrown marks can be seen on the interior, letting you truly appreciate that it is handmade.
The lid is made to fit snugly and with sufficient weight so it does not come off easily, and the spout is designed to prevent dripping.
Although it is a straight-sided style, the overall form is gently rounded, giving it a soft and warm appearance.
The lid is also rounded, and you can pour tea while holding the lid down with your thumb using one hand, making it highly functional.
Thoughtfully designed down to the smallest details, this simple yet timeless teapot can truly be described as a piece meant for long-term use.

常滑烧 由传统工艺士制作 朱泥 直壁型 急须 250cc
这是由常滑烧传统工艺士制作的朱泥急须的介绍。
被誉为常滑烧代名词的“朱泥”,由于陶土中富含铁分,能够抑制茶汤的涩味,使茶的口感更加圆润醇和。
这是一把为了充分引出茶味而制作成扁平形状的急须。
由于壶身口径较大,茶叶能够更快地舒展开来,展开性更好,从而可以更美味地萃取出茶汤。
即使注入的热水量较少,茶叶也容易充分展开,更容易引出茶叶本身的风味。
由于茶叶展开得更快且幅度更大,因此也可用于“冷泡茶(冷泡煎茶)”。
“冷泡茶”是指用冷水冲泡的煎茶,不使用热水可以抑制茶中的苦涩成分,使煎茶呈现出更多的甘味与鲜味。
容量为250cc,是一款容量充裕、使用起来十分从容的急须。
使用金属滤网会使金属气味影响茶汤风味,因此在出水口内侧装配了精巧的陶制茶滤网。
无论是这只茶滤网,还是急须本体,全部均为手工制作,凝聚了熟练工匠的高超技艺。
壶口、整体直径与底部直径几乎一致,使得急须内部非常容易清洗,也便于干燥,能够始终保持清洁,十分卫生。
急须内部可以看到拉坯的纹路,能够真切感受到其为手工制作。
壶盖为了不易滑落,制作得严丝合缝、稳重贴合;出水口也采用了不易滴漏的设计。
虽为直壁型,但整体造型圆润柔和,给人一种温和的美感。
壶盖同样呈圆润造型,即使用单手,也可以用拇指按住壶盖来倒茶,兼具良好的功能性。
从细节之处都经过周密考量,造型简洁、不易令人厌倦,可称得上是一把“能够长期使用的急须”的精品之作。
