The Kiridashi Shichirin is made by manually cutting out clay into blocks at the end of a tunnel that has been dug for many years, so as not to crush the air pocket contained in natural diatomaceous earth. It is usually kneaded to break up the clay mass, which can crush air vessels. The Kiridashi Shichirin is cut into blocks and processed into a Shichirin shape as it is, so the vacuoles do not collapse, and it is characterized by higher heat retention and lightness. In addition, the work of cutting out requires many years of skill and physical strength, and due to the aging of craftsmen, there are currently only two companies in the world that can make cut-out shichirin.
