Description
The Black Katate Donabe by Riso Porcelain is a single-serving clay pot with a side handle, "katate" (片手) meaning "one hand" in Japanese, a form that makes it easy to lift and pour directly from the pot to the bowl. Finished in a deep black glaze with a subtly textured surface, it brings Riso Porcelain's refined aesthetic to everyday cooking. Suited for rice, soups, hot pot dishes, and more.

Care
- Compatible with gas stovetop. Do not use on induction or electric cooktops.
- Do not use for deep frying.
- Transfer leftover broth to a separate container promptly after use and wash without soaking. The clay is porous and absorbs moisture, which can cause odor and mold if left sitting.
- After washing, leave the lid off and heat the empty pot over a low flame for about 10 minutes to dry completely before storing. Do not leave the empty pot on heat for extended periods.
- If using a dishwasher, remove promptly once the cycle ends and allow to air dry completely before storing.
- Discontinue use if cracks appear on the base of the pot.
- Always use a trivet to protect surfaces, as the base becomes very hot during cooking.

About Riso Porcelain
Riso Porcelain is a fourth-generation kiln based in Arita, Saga Prefecture, the birthplace of Japanese porcelain. The kiln was founded in the late Meiji era by ceramic artist Shinichi Terauchi, who was invited to the region to teach at a crafts school. Its name pays homage to Yi Sam-pyeong, the Korean potter credited with discovering porcelain stone in Arita in 1616, as the kiln was established on the site of his former residence.
Situated on what was once known as Tokkuri Street, a historic hub for porcelain workshops, Riso Porcelain has remained a small and focused operation since its founding. Current president Shinji Terauchi, great-grandson of the founder, guides the kiln with the belief that "beautiful things are eternal," pursuing designs that balance deep respect for Arita's ceramic traditions with a commitment to forms that transcend fleeting trends.
