About Iwachu

Iwachu was founded in 1902 in the city of Morioka, Japan. The company has its roots in the traditional craftsmanship of ironworking, which is widespread in this region of the country. It was established by a family of artisans who refined their skills in the production of cast iron teapots and other kitchenware. Initially, Iwachu focused on producing high-quality iron products that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Over the decades, Iwachu gained international recognition for its handcrafted products that reflect the tradition of Japanese craftsmanship. The company continuously expands its product range to meet consumer needs. In addition to teapots, the collection now includes pans, roasters, and other cooking utensils made from high-quality cast iron.

In the 1960s, Iwachu began exporting and opened markets in various countries outside Japan. This contributed to the further spread of Japanese culture and craftsmanship, making the brand known worldwide. In the 1980s, Iwachu received several awards for quality and design, highlighting the company's craftsmanship.

Today, Iwachu represents traditional Japanese craftsmanship combined with contemporary design. The products continue to be made in Morioka, and the techniques of ironworking are passed down from generation to generation. By blending tradition and innovation, Iwachu has established itself as a significant player in the kitchenware sector and is committed to sustainable production methods to protect the environment.
