kaico - beautiful enameled ware created by Makoto Koizumi, a designer with a reputation for carefully crafting items who is involved in the design of all kinds of items related to daily life from chopsticks to architecture, and artisans who possess Japanese techniques.
Enamel is processed, shaped iron that is fired with a glass textured glaze. This creates a nostalgic appearance and beautiful translucent surface. kaico, with its easy-to-use forms and combination of perfect materials, uses iron that is made in Tokyo and enameling made in Mie - the spirit of Japan lies within.

[Features of kaico]
1. Acid resistant: The enameled surface is inorganic glass and so is resistant to both acid and alkali, also making it perfect for storing food in.
2. Non-adsorbing: Enamel does not cause chemical changes due to food and moisture and so no metallic taste is transferred. Odors don't adhere easily and it brings out the original taste of foods.
3. Durable: As it is coated with hard glass, the material is resistant against discoloration and friction.
4. Clean: The surface is hard and smooth, so it doesn't get dirty or scratched easily and is easy to care for. It will keep its cleanliness for a long time.
5. Insulating: As the enamel layer has low thermal conductivity, it doesn't allow heat to escape and has superb insulation.

Enameled wear doesn't transfer odors and is perfect for storing usage. In a shape that can not only be used as a container but also as a bowl by taking off the lid. They can be stacked for handy storage in the fridge. Designed with a silicone seal for the purpose of airtightness.

[Characteristics of Enamel Items]
*Enameling is glass fired at a high temperature onto a metal surface. It has beautiful color and luster.
*Compared to iron, aluminum, copper, stainless steel items etc., foods do not come directly into contact with a metal surface and so unpleasant odors do not adhere.
[Before using]
*Please check whether or not the item has a defect such as a crack etc.
*Before using for the first time, be sure to wash well with a soft sponge and kitchen detergent.
*Black color on the edge surface of the enamel may occur during the enameling process. However, this is the enamel coating and not a defect.
*Proper care has been taken over the materials. However, should there be a defect, please contact us before using.
*Do not use for any purpose other than its intended one.
[About Item Care]
*Do not use scouring powder, a nylon scrubbing brush, metal scourer etc. as these will damage the surface. Be sure to use a soft sponge.
*Scale may become adhered so, after use, wash with a soft sponge and dishwashing detergent, wipe off moisture and dry properly.
*Should scale or scorch marks be bad, boil water containing a suitable amount of baking soda and cooking oil, leave until cooled and then wash with a soft sponge. (Do repeatedly if terribly burnt. Do not scrape or strongly rub.)
*Due to the manufacturing process, rust may occur on the edge surface of the enamel.
*Rust is iron and so please rest assured it is not harmful. However, to prevent it, wash with a sponge etc., wipe off moisture and dry well. Apply a small amount of cooking oil to the rust area will subdue it.
*Do not leave soaked in water. (This may cause rust, scale, enamel deterioration and damage.)
[Usage Precautions]
*This is an unheated processed item, so do not heat on a gas stove, induction cooker etc. (This may cause deformation, peeling and damage.)
*Enamel is vitreous. Strong impacts such as hitting forcefully or dropping on the floor may cause peeling. Please handle with proper care.
*Black color on the edge surface of the enamel may occur during the enameling process. However, this is the enamel coating and not a defect.
*The surface of enamel may feature unevenness and texture. Due to this, airtightness may not be consistent, so the contents may spill out if not upright.
*Use a dishwasher/dryer in accordance with its instruction manual.
*If the enameling is cracked or chipped, properly wipe off moisture and allow to dry naturally.
