{"product_id":"hagama-rice-cooker","title":"Hagama Rice Cooker","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe Hagama is a clay rice pot designed for direct-fire cooking on a gas stovetop. Unlike electric rice cookers or modern stovetop pots, the hagama works entirely through flame and heat retention — the porous Banko clay absorbs and distributes heat evenly, producing rice with a distinct texture and depth that clay cooking draws out and a metal pot cannot replicate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe 3-go (1 go = about 3\/4 US cup) capacity is well-suited for cooking rice in volume for 3–4 people. The traditional flanged rim — the defining feature of hagama design — helps the lid seal tightly during cooking, trapping steam and contributing to the characteristic texture of clay-cooked rice. The pot includes a fitted lid, a wooden rice paddle, and a wooden trivet. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eGas or open flame only — not compatible with electric or induction stovetops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eClay pot: Heat-resistant pottery, approx. 8.86'' (including handle wings) × height 4.9''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWooden lid: Sawara or cypress, approx. 8.27'' × 2.75''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTrivet: Cedar, 7.1'' × 7.1'' × 0.55''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eShamoji (rice paddle): approx. 8.27'' length\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eCapacity: approx. 7.08 US cups (1700ml)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOne \"cup\/gou\" of rice in the ingredients is 180cc (one rice\/gou measuring cup), one tablespoon is 15cc, and one teaspoon is 5cc.\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Hagama is produced in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture — the historic center of Banko-yaki, a ceramic tradition recognized for its heat-resistant clay and long association with cookware and is one of the few remaining makers maintaining the traditional hagama form in its original clay construction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePlease note: Because these are baked or natural items, there may be slight differences in the texture of the color pattern, size, and weight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMie Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"V003","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67601370054692,"sku":"TS865","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0519\/6897\/files\/hagama-1_bdc394cf-89f4-47ca-aeaa-5abee71b682b.jpg?v=1791138782","url":"https:\/\/koboseattle.com\/products\/hagama-rice-cooker","provider":"KoboSeattle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
