Yusamashi - GYOKKO Black Kiln Effect Side Handle Hagi Style

Elevate your tea ritual with this essential Yuzamashi (water cooler), designed to extract the maximum umami from your tea leaves. Transferring boiling water into this vessel immediately lowers the temperature by 5-10 degrees Celsius, giving you the precision required for a perfect brew.

While Sencha tastes best at 70 degrees Celsius and Gyokuro requires a delicate 40 degrees Celsius, this Yuzamashi ensures you reach those ideal temperatures effortlessly. It serves as an indispensable tool for unlocking the authentic sweetness and depth of premium Japanese tea.

Please note that Yuzamashi crafted by Gyokko feature a unique "Gyokko" stamp rather than the standard "Gyokko" mark found on his teapots.

Gyokko Kiln
Master artisan Umehara Gyokko II handcrafts every piece at the Gyokko Kiln. Both the second and third generations of this lineage hold the prestigious title of Traditional Craftsman.

Note: Handcrafted production means each item features unique dimensions and capacities. The natural kiln transformation ensures distinct color variations in every piece; therefore, your item may vary slightly from the product images.

Tokoname Ware
Originating in the late Heian period, Tokoname ranks among Japan's Six Ancient Kilns. Artisans utilize iron-rich clay from the Chita Peninsula to produce the iconic "Shudei" (red clay) finish. This specialized material and firing technique define the heritage and superior quality of Tokoname stoneware.
