I'm glad to see you're back! I found your channel some time ago, after I bought my first donabe and regretted there were no updates. I hope to see more of your delicious recipes and useful tips ❤

I wish I had gotten the white donabe rice cooker when it was available. It's lovely. So excited to get your new cookbook. Thanks

Miss Naoko. I just received delivery of a 3 gou special edition Kamado-san from your shop. I was very impressed with the care taken to package the donabe for shipment. It arrived safely and I was very happy with it after inspecting it. <br>Sincerest greetings from the Great lakes.

Thank you, Naoko! I have both regular Donabe and Kamado San rice cooker. My question is: is it okay to use the rice Donabe, which is so nice and deep, to cook other foods or soups in beside rice? Or should I just keep it exclusively for rice? Love your videos and your shop/website!!!

Hello. I bought a Donabe some years ago, but didn't know I needed to season it.. And I have used it many times to cook delicious meals... It now has drip marks on the outside where the liquid has leached through the ceramic... I quite like this as it reminds me of a kintsugi pot! <br><br>Can you please advise given the fact I didn't season the Donabe when I bought it, what I should do to maintain it? Should I now just follow your steps to season it even though it's been used?
