"Kamoshika Douguten" was born as an original brand of Yamaguchi Touki Co., Ltd., a Banko ware pottery manufacturer in Komono Town, Mie Prefecture. Komono Town is a hot spring resort in the Suzuka Mountains, famous for its Japanese serow (a natural monument). The company is located at the foot of the largest mountain in the range. The prefectural animal of Mie Prefecture and the town animal of Komono Town are both serows, so the brand was named "Kamoshika Douguten," and this is also reflected in the logo design. From this naturally rich place, the brand spreads "a fun and reliable lifestyle culture" and delivers happiness through the dining table.

For 3 cups of rice, wash the rice and soak it in 600cc of water for approximately 20 minutes. *Please refer to the instruction manual and adjust the amount of water to your liking. 2. Cook over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, until the lid rattles and steam begins to come out. Once steam begins to come out, reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes. Extending the low heat time by an additional 1-2 minutes will create a fragrant crust. 3. After turning off the heat, let it steam for approximately 20 minutes. *Do not remove the lid. 4. Open the lid to release excess steam and loosen the rice with a rice paddle.
