Featured Picks: The Kyusu-Tetsubin Combo, the Round Arare Tetsubin and the IH-Compatible Tetsubin
All three listing titles name the item as a piece of Nambu ironware, but each has a different form. One doubles as a kyusu (teapot) and a tetsubin (kettle). One is a tetsubin whose title names a round arare pattern. The third states it can be used on an IH stove. The details below follow what each item page states.
