Pure carbon (charcoal) with high purity of 99.9%.
For example, charcoal (backed at 400-700°C) → binchotan charcoal (backed at 1300°C) → carbon graphite, carbon purity goes up. (*The raw material of this product is not wood)

Carbon materials are inherently strong but fragile.
The carbon used in rackets and airplanes is a "reinforced plastic" made by hardening fibrous carbon (CF) with resin, so it is lightweight and strong. Carbon graphite is a pure carbon body that has been fired, so it may crack or break if dropped or hit. Please handle products with the same care as ceramics and porcelain

The product can be used on induction heat, gas, and the oven. However, some extremely temperature sensitive induction stoves may display an error and automatically turn off.

Carbon graphite absorbs microwaves, preventing the heat from reaching the center, therefore the product cannot be used in a microwave.

* kakugama and ANAORI Collections are not electrical products.

For ingredients with natural moisture like tomatoes, or by adding a small amount of water, near-waterless cooking is possible. However, ingredients with low natural moisture like potatoes and yams could potentially stick to the bottom and burn. Please exercise caution.

Its thermal conductivity is about 10 times that of stainless steel, about 3 times that of iron, and about the same as aluminum.
Excellent thermal conductivity among IH compatible materials.

When receiving far-infrared rays, the surface is first warmed, and then heated by resonance with water molecules. Sunlight has the same effect, even at the same temperature, what makes it feel warmer in the sun than in the shade is the effect of infrared rays.Charcoal grilling and pizza ovens are familiar cooking methods that use the far-infrared effect.

It depends on frequency of use and usage, but usually lasts around 3 years. Be careful to avoid dry burning.

It has no adverse effects on the human body and complies with the food sanitation act of Japan and the United States.

ANAORI products are made of pure carbon it has no harm on the human body.

This is resin from natural Japanese cypress, which is harmless and can be wiped off with alcohol.After spraying the alcohol, let the alcohol seep into the wood, wiping it with a suitable cloth, and so on several times. Then, allow the wooden cover to dry completely before using it.

The fragrance of the Japanese cypress wood will be transferred to the ingredients, so you can use it according to your personal preference.
Some chefs like to use when cooking rice to add a special aroma to it.

Soaking it in hot water for a few minutes can soften the fragrance.

After use, please use a neutral cleanser and a soft sponge to clean the product, then dry thoroughly. Please do not use any abrasive agents like bleach, thinner or iron wool when cleaning as it can scratch or damage the ceramic coating and the carbon.

It can be washed in a dishwasher, but do not use abrasive cleaners as they will damage the coating.

Wash with water (hot water), and if the dirt cannot be removed, use a neutral detergent.

Dry the wooden lid well before storing, otherwise it may cause mold or stains.
The wooden lid will darken partially with years of use. It is recommended that you can choose whether to use a wooden lid according to your cooking needs.

Wood, heat resistant silicone or nylon spatulas and tongs are recommended for use with the product. Metal tools may compromise the ceramic coating or damage the carbon so they are not recommended.

When heating up, even the lid gets hot, so be careful to not get burned. The heat is still stored for a while after turning off the heat, so don't touch the pot directly. Wear mittens when moving it. Adjust the heat if it boils over.
