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.

With enamel's distinctive curled edge, even viscous milk and soup are easy to pour. Also features a lid with no curl which takes hygiene into account and a wood handle that doesn't get hot easily.

*During or immediately after cooking, the handle and know will be hot, so use a mitten.
*When using on a stove, be sure to place it in the middle of the gas burner and use medium heat or lower so that the flame doesn't extend further than the base. If you cannot place it on a gas stove trivet, place a mochiami net etc, check it is secure and then use.
