Description
This stir-fry wok is proudly made in Japan and is recognized as an exceptional cast iron cookware that combines the benefits of traditional iron frying pans with easy maintenance and rust resistance. The unique fiber-like concave-convex surface on both the inside and outside sets this wok apart from other products. It is crafted in Tsubamesanjo Niigata Prefecture an area renowned for its advanced metal processing technology.
The wok features a wide surface area that enhances heat distribution due to its unevenness and double fiber line design allowing it to heat food evenly and quickly while trapping umami flavors. The double fiber technology applied to the surface ensures efficient cooking and compatibility with various heat sources including IH gas and induction cooktops.

Differences between Double Fiber and Nitriding Processing Wok
Both types of woks are lightweight cast iron options. The double fiber technology enhances heat penetration and flavor retention while nitriding is a hardening process that introduces atomic nitrogen into the surface of the iron alloy improving its durability and rust resistance. Nitriding woks are pre-seasoned and represent an upgraded version of the double fiber line wok ideal for achieving the desired “wok hei” in Asian cooking.
