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.

Let customers speak for us
Beautiful teapot from Kogu. I saw this one while I was in Japan and fell in love with the design. The material is beautiful and the size is perfect. Also the packaging was lovely and shipping was very fast.
To be honest, I bought the case solely because it protects the nippers and fits them perfectly; I didn't bother looking for a different $5 option that would offer the same fit. Unlike the nippers—which are simply flawless—the case is vastly overpriced; the cost of three cases equals the price of one pair of nippers. Yet, the nippers represent sheer perfection and embody a huge amount of time and effort, whereas the case is just a piece of leather stitched together.
I spent a long time deciding whether to buy size S or L, so I ended up buying both. I had never used cutters like these before, but when I tried them out, I found the blades to be incredibly sharp and precisely aligned. The leverage mechanism works perfectly—there is absolutely no play, and everything fits together tightly. Having worked as a fitter for ten years, I appreciate tools that perform with precision and flawlessness; I even examined them under a magnifying glass and couldn't find a single defect—it is truly amazing that these cutters have been perfected to such a degree.
I am really happy with the Suwada Round Nail Clipper. The quality feels exceptional from the moment you hold it, and the precision is truly impressive. It cuts very cleanly and smoothly, which makes nail care feel much easier and more controlled.
What I like most is how accurate it is, especially around the edges of the nails. It gives a neat result without needing much effort. The design also feels solid, elegant and made to last.
Overall, I am very pleased with this nail clipper. It is definitely a premium product, but the precision, comfort and quality make it worth it for me.
Perfect craftsmanship. +They’re so sharp that they cut very smoothly (no snapping) and accurately. That’s the quality I love. The straight & pointy edge on this model is definitely the best for big toes nails. Consequently, the rest is a breeze.
The product performs with precision and ease. It’s saves time and efforts, but midst important, done properly it helps to not hurt you skin.
Deep frying chicken or shrimps with oil needs a lot. It makes sense to re-use it again the oil for next time. Hence we find this a very utilitarian item of importance, which helps in re-using the oil. It also comes with a filter. The filter keeps the over-fried fritters out of the oil.
A very decent coffee pot, with good built and designed well suited for hand drip coffee.
Suwada makes the best quality most handy shears.
