Kaiyaki Metallic Tokoname Teapot - 250ml
This unique Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) has a clean, modern, and minimalist style, with a flat, trapezoidal shape. It is thrown from a dark grey clay with a uniquely lustrous surface finish called kaiyaki (貝焼). More than just pretty, this kyusu is very functional, with a nice pour and spout specially designed to minimise drips. The wider shape helps promote even contact between the leaves and the water, aiding the extraction of umami from high-grade sencha and gyokuro.
The teapot's built-in ceramic sasame filter is perfect for naturally straining tea, with a wide shape for faster pouring and less clogging.
Made by Fujita Tokuta (藤田徳太), who was born in 1976 and is one of Tokoname's younger kyusu craftsmen.
