Experience the art of perfect rice cooking with our traditional Japanese earthenware rice cooker.

The Kamadosan is a masterfully crafted, thick-walled earthenware pot made from premium coarse Iga clay, renowned for its exceptional heat retention properties. Its innovative double-lid design, featuring both an inner and outer lid, ensures perfectly cooked rice every time while preventing any messy boil-overs, even without adjusting the heat.

The secret to achieving superior rice lies in slow, even heat distribution during cooking. Unlike metal cookware, the Kamadosan's earthenware construction heats gradually and evenly, then maintains that heat long after being removed from the stove. This gentle heat transfer naturally draws out the rice's inherent flavour and sweetness, recreating the time-honoured "start slow, then quick" cooking method of traditional Japanese stoves, without any manual heat adjustments.

Innovative Double-Lid Technology

The unique middle lid and top lid system prevents overflow while functioning as a natural pressure cooker. The strategically positioned holes in each lid are set at right angles, creating optimal steam circulation for consistently fluffy, perfectly textured rice.

Premium Iga Clay Construction

Crafted from coarse Iga clay, the Kamadosan offers superior heat retention while remaining naturally porous. This breathable quality, similar to wooden rice cookers, prevents rice from becoming sticky or overcooked, ensuring each grain maintains its ideal texture.

Far-Infrared Cooking Technology

When heated, the clay pot and lid generate abundant far-infrared rays that penetrate ingredients from the core, similar to charcoal grilling. This natural cooking method creates rice with an exceptional fluffy softness that is impossible to achieve with conventional cookware.

Not just for rice cooking!

With its thick construction and high heat retention, the Kamadosan is also perfect for simmered dishes. Beyond rice, it excels at cooking a variety of ingredients which would benefit from its remarkable heat retention properties.

Available in 2 cup (1200ml) and 3 cup (1500ml) sizes.

BEFORE USING THE CLAY POT FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using your donabe for the first time, it is essential to season it - a process known as medome.

Don’t let this put you off. It’s super simple to do and we’ll explain exactly how to do it. Think of it as welcoming the donabe into your home. After all, your nagatani-en pot will serve you and your family for years to come, so enjoy the process of preparing it for a long and happy life.

  1. Ensure the bottom of the clay pot is dry before starting
  2. Fill the pot ¾ full with water - measure the volume of the water.
  3. Add 20% of the water volume in cooked short grain rice and stir well.
  4. Cover with the lid and heat on low to medium heat till starting to simmer.
  5. Remove the lid, turn heat down to low, stir and continue to cook till the rice mixture resembles a paste. Stir from time to time to make sure the bottom does not burn. Do not let the mixture boil.
  6. When the rice has reached the paste stage, you can turn off the heat and leave the mixture to cool
    completely which should take about an hour.
  7. Empty the rice paste and gently rinse your pot and let it air dry.
  8. Your clay pot is now ready to use!
