The Genesis of the PETARI Versatile Flat Pot

Ginpo Touki Co., Ltd., the leading domestic producer of donabe, has launched a new brand of versatile flat pots called PETARI.

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

PETARI features Ginpo Touki's proprietary heat-resistant material. Its elegant, dish-like shape with a beautiful rim and its meticulously calculated shallow-bottomed structure are designed to suit all types of cooking.
The colors are Charcoal Black, Mud Stone, and Igneous Rock.

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.
Utilizing the expertise of Ginpo Touki, Japan's leading donabe producer, and leveraging ceramic heat-resistant technology, this new development allows for use on direct flame, in ovens, microwaves, and radiant heaters. As a versatile cooking vessel capable of steaming, grilling, roasting, and stir-frying, it promises to enrich your time at home.
