The Genesis of the PETARI Versatile Flat Pot
Yokkaichi Banko ware, a representative local industry of Yokkaichi City in Mie Prefecture, was designated a national traditional craft in 1979.
In Yokkaichi, there was a dish called 'touban ryori,' where ingredients were cooked on a ceramic plate. PETARI began with the idea of creating a shallow pot, inspired by these ceramic plates but with a slight increase in height.
Functionality and Sophisticated Design, Meticulously Engineered
As a donabe manufacturer with nearly 90 years of history in Mie Prefecture, blessed with abundant natural resources from the sea and mountains and thriving agriculture and fisheries, the company has developed three original colors inspired by the hues of Mie's rock formations, leveraging local characteristics.
