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.

About the Artist / Brand

Tokoname Kyusu are teapots that represent Japan and have a long history and tradition dating back to the Edo period. Tokoname teapots are made from soil that contains a lot of iron oxide, when used the teapot reacts with tannins in the tea, removing bitterness and making it mellow and delicious. The teapot becomes more lustrous the more it is used, and the more it is used, the more it changes in flavour. Enjoy a delicious cup of tea in a Tokoname teapot made from Aichi Tokoname ware.
