Tanikawa Jin Tanka Mogake Kyusu

The distinctive, random patterns are created using the traditional Mogake technique. During the firing process, the clay is wrapped in Amamo seaweed, which leaves unique, organic markings on the surface as it burns away.

Because the clay is unglazed and porous, you should only rinse it with hot water. Avoid using soap, detergents, or a dishwasher, as the clay will absorb these chemicals and permanently alter the flavor of your tea.

No. Because each piece is handcrafted by Tanikawa Jin and utilizes a natural firing process, every teapot features slight variations in shape, capacity, and surface finish. You are receiving a singular, artisanal object.

Unglazed clay is porous and absorbs the oils and tannins from the tea you brew. With regular use, the interior will develop a seasoned patina that can enhance the flavor profile of the specific type of tea you consistently brew in it.

No. This teapot is designed exclusively for steeping tea with hot water. It is not safe for use on a stovetop, in a microwave, or in a dishwasher.

The capacity varies slightly due to the handmade nature of the firing and shaping process, typically ranging between 150 ml and 190 ml. This makes it an ideal size for personal brewing or serving one to two people.
