About the original
The Iwatani ZA-3HP is a single-burner portable butane stove rated at 12,000 BTU, powered by standard cassette butane canisters and fitted with piezoelectric ignition, a magnetic-clamp canister latch, and a pressure-sensing automatic shutoff that ejects the canister if internal pressure rises. The double-windbreak burner head is engineered to maintain heat output in outdoor conditions. Iwatani Corporation was founded in Osaka, Japan in 1930 and introduced the portable cassette stove format in 1969; the ZA series has become the standard unit in Japanese restaurants and outdoor-catering operations. The SS25 Supreme version is the same Japan-made stove with a co-branded box logo printed on the body and a matching carrying case.
About Iwatani
Iwatani is a Japanese industrial-gas and consumer-products company founded in 1930 in Osaka by Naoji Iwatani. The company built its consumer line around portable butane appliances and introduced the world's first non-hose-fed portable butane stove in 1969, the product category it still defines. Iwatani's Cassette Feu line covers tabletop hot-pot cooking, outdoor camping, and emergency use, with units like the ZA-3HP rated for higher BTU output. The group now spans more than 230 companies and 11,000 employees across industrial gases, ceramics, electronics, and cookware. Supreme collaborated with Iwatani on a Supreme-branded ZA-3HP Portable Butane Stove.
