Tezumi Hidasuki Rice Straw Tokoname Shiboridashi

The shiboridashi is designed with an adjustable lid gap. By slightly shifting the lid, you create a narrow opening that acts as a natural strainer, allowing you to control the flow and keep leaves inside the pot.

Rinse the pot with warm water immediately after use and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using soap, detergents, or the dishwasher, as the porous, unglazed clay can absorb these chemicals and alter the flavor of future brews.

The pot is designed for small-batch brewing with lower-temperature teas like Gyokuro or high-quality Sencha. Because the volume is small and the clay is thick, you can comfortably hold the edges of the pot while pouring.

No. The scarlet Hidasuki pattern is created by wrapping the clay in rice straw during the firing process, meaning the specific markings are unique to each individual piece. You will receive a one-of-a-kind item.

This shiboridashi is specifically crafted for focused, high-intensity tea tastings. The 50ml capacity is ideal for brewing small, concentrated servings that highlight the nuanced flavor profiles of premium loose-leaf teas.

Because the clay is unglazed and porous, it will absorb the oils and aromas of the tea over time. It is best to dedicate this pot to one specific type of tea to allow the vessel to 'season' and enhance the flavor profile of that variety.
