So I decided to use it the other day and then realized that the "spokes" of this gas stove burner must be larger than the one I had in Osaka because the Bialetti was too small to sit on the “spoke” looking thingy
So after scarily balancing it and making some espresso, I looked online to see if I could find an “adapter”.
And in the process learned a new word...gotoku
It literally means 5 virtues and also means tripod/trivet
So I put one on hold to be picked up at their store in Kawasaki
And within one hour I got an email saying that my order was ready for pick up...love technology!
The smooth side is what the pot sits on when using.
The "rough" side is what secures the trivet to the "spokes" of the gas burner.
I'm glad I'll also be able to use it for smaller pots as well as the Bialetti.

ooh I like the fact that it's ceramic (I guess it's got some 'weight' to it), but shocked at the price! I checked Amazon for something similar and they had this:

most homes have the cheap version that looks like this: https://amzn.eu/d/gqNHfWy
I should cockaroach the one at my inlaw's, but ever since we bought a fancier coffee machine, the Moka is gathering dust.
great find! I think I wouldn't have thought there was an "adpater" and just tossed the pot.

Rowena, I calculated the euro to yen and the one I bought is a little more expensive but only by about 2 or so dollars.

Take care you two.
