Chirori Co., Ltd. (Location: Osaka, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Yoshihiro Nagata) has begun sales of the [Shigaraki Kamado] on its company online shop, "Irori Honpo." This gas-usable kamado for restaurants utilizes the technology of Shigaraki ware, one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan. It can be used with just a gas connection. Rice cooked in a hagama (traditional pot) has beautifully distinct grains and, along with a fragrant crust, brings out the natural sweetness of the ingredients. Furthermore, the far-infrared effect and heat retention properties of the ceramic gently transmit stable heat, achieving a fluffy finish. This product is not just a cooking utensil; we pursued its role as a "device that attracts people." Feel free to use the kamado-cooked marks (black and red) on your menus and signs.

Shigaraki Kiln / Bunjiro-gama: The Shigaraki Kamado is born from the flames of Shigaraki, one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan. It is carefully crafted one by one by the fifth-generation Bunjiro, who inherits the tradition of the Bunjiro Kiln (Yamabun Seitojo), which has continuously challenged fire. Firing such a large and complexly shaped piece of pottery is extremely difficult. This is due to the unavoidable challenges of "distortion" and "cracking" that occur during the firing process, woven by clay and flame. Through long-term research at the Bunjiro Kiln, a technology was established to predict the shrinkage rate and direction of distortion of the clay, which reduced the breakage rate and led to the completion of this "Shigaraki Kamado." The glaze is finished in the Bunjiro Kiln's unique oxidized silver color (SAMURAI COLOR). Oxidized silver that emits a quiet brilliance. Bunjiro's seal. Until the post-war period, Shigaraki flourished as a major production area for hibachi (charcoal braziers), producing the vast majority of hibachi in Japan. The Bunjiro Kiln is an old kiln that also became the setting for the NHK morning drama "Scarlet." Fifth-generation Bunjiro-san. Founded in 1893. Hibachi lined up in the garden of the Bunjiro Kiln (Yamabun Seitojo). Sales Price: Shigaraki Kamado / Main Body: 145,000 yen (excl. tax), 159,500 yen (incl. tax).
