The theme is "Iron frying pan for a lifetime".

OIGEN's iron frying pans are the orthodox cast iron frying pans. We boast an extensive lineup of shapes and sizes. From the long-loved standard models to unique designs that expand the range of your cooking, and even premium models that boast rust-resistant "baking power" despite their lack of coating. You want to choose carefully because it is something you will use for a long time.

Once you get the hang of it, an iron frying pan will become a lifelong companion. Come to Iwate this summer to encounter cooking tools that will make your cooking more enjoyable and tastier.

Exhibition｜Thorough support as only a store that "chooses" to be used for a long time can provide.

Our staff, who are also users of iron frying pans, will guide you through the differences in materials, ease of use, and the mechanism that locks in the deliciousness. The staff members will also share their "realistic recommendations," along with the frying pans they actually use, and other details of the exhibition.
