Nakamura Copperworks / Dantsuki Nabe (Simmering Pot) / Copper / 21–24cm / Made in Tokyo

Traditional Copper Cookware for Precise Japanese Cooking

This Dantsuki Nabe copper pot is crafted by Nakamura Copperworks, a Japanese maker known for producing traditional copper cookware designed for precise heat control. Copper has long been valued in professional kitchens for its exceptional thermal conductivity, allowing heat to spread quickly and evenly across the cooking surface.

The stepped Dantsuki design reflects traditional Japanese pot construction used for preparing dishes that require steady heat and careful temperature control. This makes the pot particularly well suited for nimono (Japanese simmered dishes), soups, broths, and stews, where maintaining gentle and consistent heat is essential for developing flavor.

Available in 21 cm and 24 cm sizes, the pot can be used in both home kitchens and professional cooking environments. Its copper body provides responsive heat control while reflecting the craftsmanship associated with traditional Japanese cookware.
