How to Choose a Japanese Rice Cooker
Not sure which model is right for you? Here's how to narrow it down in three steps.
1. By heating technology
- Micom (Fuzzy Logic) — A microcomputer fine-tunes time and temperature for consistently fluffy rice. The best-value choice for everyday cooking.
- IH (Induction Heating) — Heats the entire inner bowl for more even, better-textured rice. A noticeable step up.
- Pressure IH — Adds pressure for springier, sweeter grains and outstanding brown or mixed rice. Our premium tier.
2. By capacity (uncooked rice cups; 1 cup ≈ 150g)
- 0.5L / ~3 cups — Ideal for 1–2 people and smaller kitchens.
- 1.0L / ~5.5 cups — The everyday family size, and our most popular.
- 1.8L / ~10 cups — Large families and batch cooking.
3. By brand

Yes. Every rice cooker we sell is genuine 220–240V with a fitted UK 3-pin plug — ready to use straight out of the box, with no transformer or adapter needed.
Micom models use a microcomputer to adjust the heating element — excellent, reliable rice at a friendlier price. IH (induction heating) heats the whole bowl directly for more even cooking and better texture, while Pressure IH adds pressure for the springiest, sweetest results.
For 1–2 people, a 0.5L (~3-cup) model is perfect. For most families, a 1.0L (~5.5-cup) cooker is the sweet spot. For large households or batch cooking, choose a 1.8L (~10-cup).
