The SUIGA series is a line of dishware infused with carbon, using a special firing method inspired by the manufacturing of smoked roof tiles. By trapping carbon inside, the dishware can have the same effect as charcoal; for example, it will upgrade beverages by removing the roughness and rounding out the flavor. The Suigetsu Teapot, co-developed with a local tea farm, helps to bring out even more flavor by reducing the caffeine and other properties from the tea.
The design is conscientious of the Yamato-hi, an aesthetic ratio often used in Japanese architecture from ancient times. Said to be more familiar to the Japanese people than the Golden Ratio, it brings a sense of ease, and allows the products to be easy to hold even for smaller hands like women’s. In particular, Suigetsu Teapot was designed for ultimate usability, removing the handle so that it can be held by either hand. Also, the patented sliding lid that prevents it from falling can be used by anyone at ease. The lid design portrays Mount Fuji, which is also a nod to the local Shizuoka Prefecture. The base color is an iconic Japan Black, and offered in varying grade metallic plating designs. Custom engravings are also available.
