"Cast iron rice pot Meshikko 3 Go. OIGEN (IH)"
Nambu Tekki (Nanbu Tekki)
Nambu ironware of Iwate is the highest quality Japanese ironware. The history of Nambu ironware in Oshu Hiraizumi is about 1000 years old. Oshu was founded in warlike times as a city under the sign of peace, but its destruction by Kamakura warriors could not be prevented. One of the measures of reconstruction was to build up the competence and infrastructure for metal casting. To this day, in Oshu and the entire Mizusawa area, pans, pots, tetsubin and teapots of the highest quality are produced using the traditional Nambu Tekki process. The main characteristics of Nambu Tekki products are: natural raw materials, high sustainability, very high utility, exceptional traditional and modern design. The cast iron has high heat storage and conductivity. The cookware gets hot evenly, and the surface temperature can be very high if desired. Since there is usually no coating to interfere with, the heat is transferred directly to the food. The cook can use high heat if needed, but can also keep food warm for a long time if desired.
Finishing OIGEN Cast Iron Products: Naked finish
The Naked Burning finish of cast iron products - an evolution of the traditional Nambu Tekki finish - is a patented refinement of OIGEN. The surface of Nambu Tekki products with Naked Finish is noticeably more porous, so oil is absorbed more. As a result, the products are easier to burn in and the anti-stick effect is more noticeable. The light color of the cast iron comes from a natural oxide film that forms during the finishing process. However, with the use of oil, the surface gradually becomes darker. The prerequisite for this finishing process to be applied is a perfect casting process, as reworking would not be possible without damaging the surface protection.
All products are unique. Slight deviations from the picture are possible. Small irregularities in the shape and surface are signs of craftsmanship. Use on all types of stoves: electric stove, induction stove, gas stove. Open fire, grill, oven. Easy to prepare (burn-in) and clean by hand. Please follow the enclosed care instructions.

Oigen
OIGEN strives to be 100% transparent and consistently embraces responsibility for our collective future. Most products are made from 100% natural materials and are processed and finished exclusively with natural methods (NOF, Naked Finish). The company has a long tradition and feels deeply connected to it, but thinks and acts modern, open-minded, and promotes innovations wherever it fits the philosophy of OIGEN. With its founding in 1852, a strong, traditional foundation was laid. The fact that the fifth generation of the founder Genjuro now leads a modern company in the spirit of history shows that tradition and bold, responsible, future-oriented action are not opposites but extremely enriching. OIGEN combines tradition with the future, brings people closer together, and touches hearts.
The headquarters of OIGEN in Mizusawa is located in the cultural sphere of Hiraizumi, Iwate Prefecture. Hiraizumi was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011. In 1090 AD, Kiyohira Fujiwara summoned excellent craftsmen from the Kyoto area to Mizusawa, laying the foundation for the high-quality casting of natural iron. Nambu Tekki (Nanbu Tekki) soon became synonymous with excellent cast iron products in Japan and many places around the world.
Every item is a uniquely handcrafted piece.
