The Warmth of an Clay Ceramic Pan
This Clay Ceramic pan is produced one by one as Yokkaichi pottery to provide the warmth of Clay Ceramic.
* Any color irregularities, bumps, depressions or patterns in the glaze are unavoidable product characteristics of the manufacturing process of clay ceramic pans. They do not signify problems with the quality, so you can use with safety.
High heat-storage performance and superior infrared effect
The high heat-storage performance allows heat to penetrate to the core of the rice kernels, producing soft, delicious rice, while the superior infrared effect lets you enjoy browned rice.
In addition, you can use the pan right at the table, in place of your regular rice container. (Be sure to use a pot pad etc.)
Superior thermal shock resistance and heat resistance
Because ceramic materials are used, the thermal shock-resistant and heat-resistant properties are superior to those of other regular Clay Ceramic pans.
Inner Pan (Clay Ceramic)
CautionObserve all Cautions or Notices on P.7 and 42, and handle the Clay Ceramic pan with care.

1 Measure rice and put it into the inner pan.
Be sure to measure using the supplied measuring cup. * If you use a different rice measure or other
measuring cup, a measuring error may occur.When measuring rice, the rice should be level with the top of the cup (about 0.18 L).Use only the quantities listed in the chart to the right. Otherwise, the rice may not be cooked properly.
2 Rinse rice by hand. (Rice can be rinsed in the inner pan.)
Put the rice into the inner pan, and fill with water. Stir vigorously, and immediately discard the water. Use cold water and rinse the rice quickly so that the rice cannot absorb anything from the water.
4 Rinsing the Rice, Adding the Correct Amount of Water, and Placing the Inner Pan in the Main Unit
3 Rinsing the riceWith the heel of your hand, press down on the drained rice. Then fill the pot with water, stir the rice quickly, and discard the water. Do this 4-5 times until the water remains clear.
4 Place the inner pan on a level surface and adjust the water level to the scale on the inside of the inner pan.
Check the type of rice and the menu. Adjust the water volume according to personal preference.
For example: When cooking three cups of polished rice, adjust the water level to the [3] on the “Plain rice” scale.
Select a good-quality rice. Choose freshly polished, glossy rice of the same grain size. Store it in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.
To cook rinse-free rice Use the supplied cup for rinse-free rice as well. Add the rinse-free rice and water to the inner pan, then thoroughly stir the rice from the bottom so that all grains are immersed in water. (Simply pouring water on top of the rice from above does not submerge all of the rice and can prevent the rice from cooking properly.)
If the water clouds up when added to the rice, it is recommended to rinse the rice 1 or 2 times. (The clouding is caused by the starch, not the bran. Rice that cooks in cloudy water can burn or not cook properly, and the water can boil over.)
Guidelines for fine adjustment of water
Menu Guideline for water(see the scales inside the inner pan)
White Rice
Plain Use the scale for “Plain rice” and adjust according to personal preference.
Long-grain Use the scale for “Long-grain rice” and adjust according to personal preference.
Rinse-free Use the scale for “Plain rice” and adjust according to personal preference.

Sweet rice (glutinous rice)
Adjust to the middle of “Plain rice” and “Sweet rice”.
Sweet rice (glutinous and non-glutinous rice)
Use the scale for “Sweet rice” and adjust according to personal preference.
* Do not adjust water amount more or less than 1/3 level from original water level marks.
* When cooking haiga rice, rolled barley, germinated brown rice, semi-polished rice and multi-grain rice, add water to the [Plain rice] scale of the inner pan.
* Some germinated brown rice and multi-grain rice packages specify the quantity of water required to cook. Please refer to package directions.
Inner pan scale is the standard amount
The measuring scale on the inner pan is the recommended amount.Adjust based on your preferences; each family can cook rice with the firmness and the bottom crust they like.
Adding vegetables and meat to your rice Total ingredient amount should be less than 70 g for each cup of rice. Stir the water, seasoning and rice well. And then place the ingredient on top of the rice. Ingredient must be chopped finely. There is the maximum cooking amount for each menu, see the chart below.
Cooking Sweet rice
After rinsing the rice, soak it for about 30 minutes, and level the rice so that it doesn't stick up above the water level. (If you soak it for less time, the rice will be firmer when cooked, and for more time, it will be softer.)
CautionRinse rice well.Do not use hot water (over 35°C) to rinse rice.
Correct measurement
Wrong measurement
Spread the rice so that it is level.
