KOGU Stainless-Steel Uwade Kyusu — 500 ml
An all-metal KOGU kyusu with a clean, functional character. The 500 ml stainless-steel body, top bail handle and removable strainer make it a modern uwade teapot rather than a conventional ceramic kyusu.
At roughly 2–3 servings, it sits in a useful middle size: large enough to share, but still compact enough for everyday loose-leaf brewing. The weighted lid knob helps keep the lid settled while pouring.
Why choose this version?
- 500 ml capacity: suited to roughly 2–3 people.
- Uwade top handle: the handle sits above the pot rather than at the side.
- All-metal construction: stainless body, handle and removable strainer.
- Removable strainer: easy to lift out for emptying and cleaning.
