Sori Yanagi Stainless Steel Kettle - Matte



Small but absolutely beautiful
This kettle is so much nicer in person than in the picture. It appears to be hand brushed (I bought the matte, not the mirror) and the design is the nicest I've ever seen in a kettle. You can feel the quality as much as you can see it. The handle fits the hand nicely and makes pouring easy. Well balanced. For someone with arthritis, this is really important to me. The top has a nice large opening for easy filling and cleaning, and the lid comes off easily - without that hard tug that sometimes is needed when a lid fits just a tad too tightly. My only disappointment is with the size. I wish it held more water. It is enough for a cup or two of tea, unless you fill it beyond the bottom of the spout. The up side to this, however, is that it does not dominate the stove top. I like my tea kettle to be as much a decorative feature on the stove as a functional piece for easy water boiling. This one is both. I would recommend this kettle to anyone looking for quality, great design,...

Design & function
Beautiful kettle, just as described.

Large, elegant workhorse.

The mother of all kettles
I would like to take a few minutes from my busy schedule to write about this kettle. My wife has bought at least 20 kettles from different stores and returned each one of them. She then told me to find her a kettle. To find a good kettle that you will truly love was not easy. I went to many websites. I looked at at least 100 kettles but was not happy with any of them. Then I typed the words - Best tea kettles - on Google. Now, I was getting somewhere. I got about 15 kettles. As I was looking at the kettles, I stopped when I saw the Sori Yanagi kettle. I kept looking at this kettle. I was like a deer caught in the headlights. I said to myself, WOW. I could not explain it but it was the moment that I realized that this is the kettle I was looking for. It is a true true masterpiece. A work of art. No words can describe its simple beauty. Like a beautiful woman with curves and everything in proportion, this kettle was like that. What a beautiful spout. What a voluptuous body, what a sexy...
