[Azmaya's Kyusu/Yuzamashi]

Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, is famous as a kyusu-producing area. Since the vitrified surface is unglazed, it stores tea's aroma, and the more it is used, the more the teas will produce pleasant aromas.

Its heat-retaining ability is higher than that of porcelain kyusu and tea incrustations are hardly recognizable. The skin improves with use, turning more lustrous.

We also recommend the yuzamashi, which would match with the kyusu.

[A desk-cooking stove to enjoy a small charcoal grilling]

Kokiridashi is a portable cooking stove to enjoy "small charcoal grilling" on low heat. They are made by mining diatomaceous earth under the ground of Suzu, Noto, maintaining the form of its stratum, and cutting out the products mostly through hand-carving, using a special chisel.

Although it can't be used to grill meat and fish like barbecue, as it is able to thoroughly grill foods on low heat, the extreme infrared radiation of charcoal fire heats ingredients, such as nibbles for drinks, from the core.

Try utilizing Kokiridashi as tools to enrich your everyday life, by using it when drinking at home, or when hosting friends. We recommend Kokiridashi as gifts to friends who love alcohol as well.
