I bought this as a birthday gift for my Son-In-Law (who enjoys cooking very much). He was very happy when he unwrapped the box and very surprised (fortunately my Daughter let me know specifically the pot to buy as well as your company’s website). They just returned from a 2-week trip to Tokyo & Kyoto, Japan, and had a very wonderful time. They are planning to return in a few years. I believe they are cooking me something very special in the Donabe Tokusa on May 12 for Mother’s Day luncheon at their home. I am very much looking forward to that meal. I am sure they would give your product the highest rating possible; therefore, that is what I shall also do. Thank you.
