Tokoname
Yuzamashi - Cream Water Cooling Pot from Tokoname
- Dimension: 260ml
- Region: Aichi
- Technique: Natural coloured clay
- Care: Not suitable for dishwasher or microwave
This unglazed Tokoname yuzamashi was made in Aichi Prefecture, Japan using natural cream-coloured clay. The soft colour comes from the clay itself rather than a glaze, giving it a simple, understated appearance.
A yuzamashi is traditionally used to cool freshly boiled water to the correct temperature before brewing Japanese tea. This is particularly important when preparing premium teas such as gyokuro and high-grade sencha, which are brewed at lower temperatures to bring out their natural sweetness and rich umami while reducing bitterness.
The wide, open shape allows the water to cool quickly, while the carefully formed spout provides a smooth, controlled pour into your teapot. An essential piece for anyone who enjoys preparing fine Japanese tea in the traditional way.
This yuzamashi was made in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
