Things to Know Before Purchasing

Banko Ware
Banko ware is a type of ceramic ware produced in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture. It is known for its pottery pots, which are the number one product in Japan, and traditional teapots. Made from heat-resistant clay, many of the pots are suitable for use in microwaves and over open flames. They have excellent heat retention and insulation properties, allowing food to boil quickly and retain heat for a long time. The far-infrared effect ensures that food is cooked to a mellow finish.
