This deal is back on special and now cheaper than ever. Close to Amazon JP's price for the same item. Amazon AU says 'Ginho' but I'm using the brand name 'Ginpo' from the Amazon Japan listing for the same product ID.

According to comment, it is made in Japan.

Please follow seasoning instructions before first use. The same site also lists a lot of delicious hot pot recipes for inspiration. One of my favourites is sumo wrestler's hot pot! - it's actually very healthy.

      But it’s Ginpo and Japanese and probably made by a family business that’s been running continuously for 900 years. You can tell people it’s genuine Ginpo when giving house tours. Ginpo.

          People kept trying to jump through the same hoops to justify why their Le Creuset or Staub dutch ovens were worth 3-5x more than the made in China Lodge dutch ovens that used to get posted here pretty often. Tried to use the same rhetoric around quality and longevity, and it just isn't true - the Lodge holds up as just as well as the significantly more expensive dutch ovens, only at a fraction of the price.

          These aren't intricate hand made mechanical watches, they're cooking vessels.

      • WasBargain on 19/10/2023 - 18:13

        Damn, I thought that rough texture was normal. Mum used to use one and prized it. Was typical orangey clay colour and I guess had no glazing like this one.

        • An152 on 19/10/2023 - 18:18
          +3

          there is a rough texture one which is mainly for cooking clap-pot rice or rice noodle, which need to be soak for a while before using.

          • WasBargain on 19/10/2023 - 18:20

            @An152: Damnit! That is the one I'm talking about I think! Mum's Malaysian, she would only ever cook claypot rice (and I THINK congee) in it. They are normally quite pricey too yeah? Wondering if I should cancel this one.. I only want it to make claypot rice. I wasn't a fan of century egg congee as a kid, although, I bet I could get onboard nowadays. 😅

                Hoping to get a nice Chinese-style socarrat in my Claypot rice! 😁 I can speak a little Canto but have no idea what the word is. Apparently in pinyin it's faan ziu? I don't know how to pronounce that 'ziu' from writing but it doesn't ring a bell to me.. 😅

                        Any tips to get a good faan giu? I'm still unsure how I'd pronounce that.. 🤣 I think I may have watched something a while ago but it's all about patience in cooking ingredients and then hitting it with high heat right at the end with a little bit of oil around the sides?

        made in china and the finish would be much more rough and less durable than the one listed.

        So only Japan can make a smooth and durable claypot, no other country can?

          +1

          If you'd handled Japanese ceramics you'd realise their workmanship is among the best in the world. The attention to detail is cultural - they value perfection when they make things by hand. Made in Japan is a shorthand for quality when talking about knives, crockery, printmaking, traditional paper, or tamagotchi.

    • t25 on 19/10/2023 - 17:46

      Last time I bought half a dozen Chinese made ones, they were all leaking. One of them was so badly leaking, it actually put out the flame on the gas cooktop. My parents on the other hand have Japanese made claypots that are older than me and still going strong.

      Won't be buying Chinese made ones again.

      • An152 on 19/10/2023 - 17:52

        you might bought wrong type of clay pot, another type of clay pot, you need to soak them for half day before you using it.

        • t25 on 20/10/2023 - 00:02

          Possible. I got what the shop recommended me. I usually use claypots to boil water for noodles for leftover steamboats, and making hard boiled eggs.

          I did season them before using just like how I would season my cast iron using the respective seasoning methods.

          • An152 on 20/10/2023 - 07:16

            @t25: You dont really need to season the claypot, i think you bought the rough texture ones, which is old style good for claypot rice and noodle, you can't put them into fridge then heat it up straight away which will break it, new style which will be more smooth texture and you can put into fridge and heat it up straight when you took it out.

            • t25 on 20/10/2023 - 11:05

              @An152: Mine is actually the glazed type. It was recommended to me as it has "an extra layer" to prevent leakage.

              • An152 on 20/10/2023 - 12:14

                @t25: You mean the glaze on the bottom of the pot?

                • t25 on 20/10/2023 - 13:48

                  @An152: Nope. There is glazing inside and around the pot. The base of the pot (where the fire hits) is bare clay.

                  • An152 on 20/10/2023 - 14:52

                    @t25: outside layer of the pot is like a rough with micro holes isn't it?

                    • t25 on 20/10/2023 - 15:32

                      @An152: You could call it rough with micro holes I suppose.

                      If you took a spoon and rubbed against it, it won't be bumpy (the old school type with the sand bumps - I'd call that rough)

    "Donabe" means clay pot in Japanese; also Amazon lists it as "Brand: NO BRAND". I don't want to speculate where it is made.

      Brand ‎Ginho
      Made in Japan

      • MYOB AO on 20/10/2023 - 15:23

        Do you know both Japanese and Chinese use Chinese characters today? The writing style of Chinese characters in both countries are pretty much the same. The romanised (pronunciation) style of the same characters, however, are not the same in Japanese and Chinese, i.e, Tokyo (Kana in japanese) vs. Dongjing (Pinyin in Chinese). But if I write them down in characters, they are the same two words.
        It is intersting that sometimes people in China may choose Japanses style to romanise their product/company names rather than commonly used Pinyin. In this case, I am pretty sure Ginho (kana) stands for Jin He (in Pinyin), meaning Gold Harmony. I call this phenomenon being creative, not identity theft. All in all, ancient Chinese invented characters.

        Do you call "room" as "chamber"? Sounds French!

        • Aureus on 20/10/2023 - 16:00

          Yeah I know that. The listing says it is made in Japan.

    • b0b0 on 19/10/2023 - 19:05

      Confirm the brand is Ginho, box says made in Japan.

      • MYOB AO on 20/10/2023 - 19:30

        Maybe the box was made in Japan indeed. Then the manufacturer can legally print "MIJ" logo on box, instead of on cookware.
        Sounds like a joke.
        But common sense tells me that the traditonal claypot (not these enhanced versions) is such a small niche market. I just can't imagine Japanese are still making them and sell them on Amazon.

        • b0b0 on 20/10/2023 - 20:18

          Claypot is a very very common cookware in Japan. It's not niche

      Did it break when you received it? Broken during transit is a postage problem, it doesn’t make the product worse than half price claypots in asian grocery. You can also get refund from Amazon with very little effort.

      If you broke it yourself within 3 months, then that's really something. You should get the asian grocery claypots because they are much much thicker and might break the floor before breaking itself

  • Ash Dune on 19/10/2023 - 22:00

    As someone who used to live in China for decades, I don't think the problem with Chinese-made pottery is workmanship or quality. Japan has simply inherited the Chinese craftsmanship and tradition, with some changes, but essentially it is the same. The biggest hidden danger of Chinese-made pottery is that the soil in China is seriously polluted, including the soil used to produce pottery is polluted including highly toxic pesticides, heavy metals, chemical products, and it is long lasting. And many of the so-called product inspection certificates can be bought for money, which makes me not buy Chinese-made pottery no matter how good it is.
