Premier Models [土鍋ご泡火炊き JRX-G100/G060]

Cooking refined rice of first-class ryotei quality using techniques only possible with a ceramic inner pot

The 土鍋ご泡火炊き JRX-G100/G060 are the premier models of the ご泡火炊き Series. Thanks to levels of high heat and gentle bubbling that can only be achieved in ceramic pots, these rice cookers produce rice in its ideal form—refined and full of flavor, like the donabe rice served in top-class ryotei restaurants.

This new product features an upgraded version of the authentic ceramic inner pot, which is a key feature of this type of rice cooker. In a first for Tiger, “Shirasu Balloons,” which are made from volcanic ash mined from Shirasu-Daichi, were infused into the heating element on the bottom of the pot using a special mixing technique. The addition of materials that have high heat retention properties and are highly compatible with the heating element maximizes the effect of the 300°C double-layer IH structure*3, which has achieved the highest temperatures in Tiger’s history. In addition, we developed a new kind of glaze to apply to the pot. It contains iron, cobalt, and other components that enhance the far-infrared effect. The authentic ceramic inner pot has also been designed to effectively transfer heat to the rice, resulting in springy grains of rice with a deep, sweet flavor. Compared to the previous model, sweetness and springiness have increased to 108.5%*5 and 105%*6, respectively. In addition, the “rice bin humidity control” function, modeled after the air and moisture control properties of wooden rice containers known as ohitsu, increases the amount of air fed into the chamber compared to previous models, improving the heat retention quality. The level of humidity control is similar to that of the wooden rice bins used in ryotei restaurants. As a result, odors and yellowing are prevented, preserving the delicious flavors of freshly cooked rice.

This premium model rice cooker demonstrates how Tiger has gone above and beyond in its 101st year, showcasing its commitment to the pursuit of delicious flavor using authentic ceramic inner pots.

Premium-Lite Model [土鍋ご泡火炊き JPL-T100]

High temperatures of approximately 250°C*4 and the far-infrared effect make the rice sweet, delicious, and fluffy.

In the premium-lite model, the 土鍋ご泡火炊き JPL-T100, the rice is cooked in the ceramic inner pot at high temperatures of approximately 250°C*4 to bring out the natural sweetness and umami of the rice for you to savor. As with the top-of-the-line models, a newly developed glaze has been applied to the ceramic inner pot, producing a far-infrared effect that results in fluffier rice. In addition to the Special Small Amount Cooking function that allows you to cook fragrant rice in small batches, and the three different cooking functions (white rice only) that allow you to select the consistency and texture of the rice, this new model is also equipped with a new scorched rice option (white rice/mixed). Not only does this allow you to cook the best rice for the occasion, but it also makes it easy to unlock the true joy of using a ceramic inner pot—the scorched rice.

Premier Model [ご泡火炊き JRI-A100/A180]

The ご泡火炊き JRI-A100/A180 are popular models that feature high functionality, which enables a variety of delicious ways to prepare rice, combined with easy cleaning for a convenient experience. Featuring a heat sealing ceramic coating, this far-infrared, oven-effect nine-layer inner pot enhances the heat levels and the far-infrared effect. This enables it to cook rice with a level of sweetness comparable to rice made in a ceramic donabe, despite the fact that the pot is made of metal. This fully-redesigned model is equipped with a newly developed solenoid multi-level pressure mechanism to cook rice with more delicate pressure control, enabling it to cook rice to an ideal texture in which each and every grain of rice is distinct.

In addition to the Frozen Rice setting that reduces stickiness when defrosting, the Small Amount and Quick setting that allows you to cook a bowl’s worth (half a rice cup) of rice in as little as 15 minutes*7, and the Cooking setting that allows you to prepare various dishes in the rice cooker, this model is equipped with a new option to increase the amount of GABA in your rice, which is said to be effective in reducing anxiety and stress*8.

Furthermore, the pressure mechanism has been changed to reduce the number of parts that needs to be cleaned from three to two, and the inner cover has been upgraded to a ball-less flat structure to reduce cleaning time. The inner cover is dishwasher-safe. Because rice cookers are appliances that are used daily, we aimed to achieve the ideal balance between flavor and convenience.

*7 Only rice cookers with a capacity of 5.5 rice cups can be used to cook amounts as small as 0.5 rice cups. *Rice cookers with a capacity of 10 rice cups can be used to cook at least 1 cup of rice and it takes about 17 minutes to cook 1 cup of rice. The time required for cooking may vary depending on the type of rice and room and water temperatures. (Based on our research)
*8 The effect varies among individuals depending on the amount and timing of intake and is not always guaranteed.
