The new "Geme-Tsuki "Nambu Ironware Gokume-Hagama" (model NP-WU10) features a new "moist double-layer inner lid" that prevents spills during boiling. In the process of promoting "alphalization," which draws out the stickiness of the rice, the new model achieves approximately 1.3 times higher heat power than the conventional model.
