Sealed-Lid Shigaraki Ware Coffee Pot 'KOGA' Begins Pre-Sales on Makuake

AI Summary (NQ-processed)

KISSHIN365, in collaboration with 'Tsubohachi,' a Shigaraki ware kiln established in 1955, has co-developed the 'KOGA' coffee pot. It features a unique sealed design without the typical lid hole, intended to trap the coffee's aroma until the lid is opened. The pot is made from Shigaraki clay from the ancient Lake Biwa layer, which is said to have far-infrared properties. Using a simple full-immersion method—just add hot water and wait 3 minutes—it aims to provide a consistently flavorful brew. Pre-sales began on the crowdfunding platform Makuake on March 24, 2026, with an early-bird price of 8,614 JPY (27% off the planned retail price of 11,800 JPY).
