Hirakyusu Tea Pot
- Beautiful small matte tea pot for a single cup of tea
- Collaboration between modern design and craftsmen
- The lid is airtight lid for the optimal brewing temperature.
- The handle is specially designed with a small tip coming out to rest your finger on for steadiness when pouring tea.
- The dip is angled so you can pour until the last drop. This is the proper and respectful way to pour tea.
All these elements, combined with its incredible lightness in weight, make the Hirakyusu teapot a joy to use and shows the honed precision of Japanese craftsmanship. This teapot uses the craftsmanship of Tokoname, which has long been a famous teapot production area in Japan. An unglazed finishing is applied on the product and the smooth surface gloss increases each time you brew tea .
As the Japanese name implies, this teapot is flat and has a large opening. It makes it easy to add or remove the tea and there is plenty of space for the tea leaves to sufficiently infuse inside.
The inner tea strainer is made by making fine holes in a ceramic plate. It has a unique structure that does not easily clog the tea leaves while straining.
It is important for tea to be thoroughly steamed, and to be able to pour out every last drop, and that the lid and the main unit should close properly. This teapot achieves its high sealing performance by adding a special process called "lidding", which requires the craftsman to rub the lid and body multiple times until the finishing is perfect.
You can also purchase a specially made brush to wash the inside of the spout HERE

Japan-Best is first and foremost a story about Japanese craftsmen with the influence of contemporary design. We are inspired by the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and their ability to adapt to our modern lifestyle. The more brands we meet, the more passionate we become about the stories behind each product; the skills of the craftsmen, or the long tradition of an object left unchanged for generations yet somehow remaining contemporary.
Japan-Best is a collection of Japanese brands, which we have selected for the originality of their design, the quality of their production, the fact that their production is “Made in Japan”, and the long history that they maintain, quite often for several generations.
Our selection of Japanese food is also based on craftsmanship in agriculture. We choose brands based on how they are made and we love brands that continue to use traditional natural techniques to grow food and prepare it. Good packaging and design is always and added joy to find!
