Rice Brand-Specific Cooking

This feature adjusts the water absorption time, temperature, pressure, and other settings to optimize the flavor of the rice.
Even after rice is purchased, rice cooking programs for new brand names are regularly being added to the cloud using IoT technology. The characteristics of rice vary not only by brand but also by season and harvest year. Just as ryotei restaurants cook their rice by adjusting the amount of water and heat according to the condition of the rice, these rice cooking programs are regularly updated to reflect the year and season, allowing you to cook delicious rice automatically.

Rice Taste Appraiser

utilizing data from the Association of Certified Rice Flavor Analysts are initially installed together with the application.

This is made possible by the cooperation of the Association of Certified Rice Flavor Analysts, which organizes the International Contest on Rice Taste Evaluation, the largest rice competition in Japan and abroad. The fifty brands were carefully selected based on the association's analysis of over 5,700 brands of rice and our own data accumulated over the past fifty years. Tiger's unique brand-specific cooking function reflects the intentions of the rice producers in the taste of the rice.

You only need to look at one grain
to see the difference!

    A luster can be seen on the large grains.
    The flavor deepens
    with each bite.

Depending on the region, the new rice of the year is harvested from around the end of August. New rice contains a lot of water and requires some finesse to cook well.
The JPA-X100 offers a special program just for the new rice season, which allows you to select the cooking method that is best suited for new rice.

Why is new rice delicious when cooked in the JPA-X100?

Even among other harvests of the same brand, these new grains contain a lot of moisture.
We have prepared a special rice cooking program
to bring out the optimal texture of new rice.

Through repeated rice cooking experiments and verification, we've made it so anyone can easily enjoy new rice that is not too soft and has satisfying texture.

From the results of the verification on the texture of new rice Graph Stickiness comparison: 9.6% increase Chewiness: 8.3% increase

When cooked using the JPA-X's New Rice Homare-Daki program, even new rice, which tends to be sticky due to its high water content, will be cooked to be less soft and chewier than when cooked with a standard rice cooking program.

The inner pot combines high thermal efficiency and heat retention properties
with an optimal pressure adjustment mechanism for cooking rice,
resulting in a quality similar to that of rice cooked in a donabe.

The outside of the pot is finished with a “donabe heat retention coating” which, in addition to the donabe material coating, incorporates hollow glass beads to improve heat retention properties. The inside of the pot boils with fine bubbles like a donabe thanks to the “far-infrared donabe coating” These coatings produce a delicious taste similar to that of rice cooked in donabe.

The fine convex finish of the bottom of the pot produces optimum bubbling for cooking rice like a donabe.

    Pot-Encasing IH

    The IH heater encasing the inner pot has an enlarged heating area. It is a Pot-Encasing IH that improves heat buildup and retention. Heating over a larger area increases the amount of heat and brings out the natural sweetness of the rice.

  • Bringing out stickiness and springiness

    Adjustable double pressure

    Two pressure balls, one large and one small, are controlled to bring out the stickiness and cook the rice thoroughly. A pressure of 1.25 atm is applied during cooking to bring out the stickiness and springiness of the rice. After cooking, a pressure of 1.05 atm is used to steam the rice at high temperatures to produce firm rice grains with minimal clumping.

  • Moist heat retention

    Glazed Inner Lid

    The inner lid has a hydrophilic finish. By applying a thin film that is resistant to the formation of droplets, water quickly evaporates when heated, removing unwanted moisture. When keeping the rice warm, the inner lid is covered with a film of moisture to keep the rice moist. Droplets do not form easily, so your rice is protected from dripping water.
