The outside is shaped as a cube, while the inside of the kakugama revives the imo-gata (rounded bottom) shape characteristic of the traditional Japanese hagama pot—the fusion of this innovative shape with the various properties of carbon graphite results in a unique fire.
*Occasionally, the inner coating might peel off under everyday use. Do not worry, carbon graphite is a natural and harmless component.

It can be used with most of IH cooking heaters and direct heating sources such as gas fires, ovens. Since the carbon body conducts electricity, you can use the IH cooking heater without embedding a metal plate. Because it is not combined with different materials, it is one of the reasons for its high thermal conductivity.
What is the capacity of kakugama?
> Soup: 5.1ℓ size is about 24 cups and 3.4ℓ size is about 15 cups. (standard soup bowl 150 ml) > Rice: 3.4ℓ size → 5 rice cups (900ml)/5.1ℓ size → 7 rice cups (1260ml) ※Japanese Rice Measuring Cup (1 Gou Cup) = 180ml = 150g
>3.4ℓ is recommended for 4 people, while 5.1ℓ can serve about 6 to 8 people.
How fragile is the kakugama?
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 kakugama with the same care as ceramics and porcelain.
