Oden Pot for Local Restaurant
Requested by a local restaurant ODEN Kozo, we crafted a custom oden pot, harnessing the exceptional heat onductivity of copper to create an authentic and .avorful oden cooking experience.
Sendai Douko
Douko, which literally translates as “copper pot,” is a Japanese word for copperware that is used to boil water with a heat source, often attached to the side wall of a stove or buried in the ash of a brazier.
Initially, it was a simple tool to boil water in a brazier, but various functions were gradually added, such as cooking ingredients, and it became an integrated kitchen system of the Edo period. In the early 20th century, the Sendai Douko, produced by Tazen in Sendai, became popular throughout Japan. We are revisiting this Sendai Douko tradition as contemporary take on copperware to deepen our understanding of the beloved “copper pot” and its essence.
