・Founded in 1879 (Meiji 12), Taikei, a manufacturer of Arita ware, has developed the "Ultimate Rice Cooker" by further improving the far-infrared effect that it has cultivated over many years. ・Achieved through three secrets (① newly developed clay and glaze, ② steam pressure adjustment knob on the lid, ③ spiral protrusions on the underside of the lid) ・Compatible with both direct heat and microwave ovens, and its modern and chic, beautiful design allows you to enjoy a new lifestyle This is a groundbreaking Arita ware rice cooker specifically for rice, utilizing the far-infrared effect. In order to further improve the far-infrared effect, we have developed special heat-resistant clay and special glaze, as well as three innovative secrets (mechanisms) that allow you to easily cook delicious rice with grains standing upright and shining like jewels. *Utility model application pending When you cook with the "Ultimate Rice Cooker," you will get rice that shines like jewels. The "Ultimate Rice Cooker" has realized a rice cooker like no other with three new secrets (technologies). To enhance the far-infrared effect, there are three secrets: ① a newly developed glaze applied to special heat-resistant clay, ② a "knob" for pressure adjustment, and ③ a "lid" with spiral protrusions processed on the underside. As a result, heat penetrates to the core of the rice grains, resulting in fluffy rice that retains moisture. *Utility model application pending This ultimate rice pot, which can be used over direct heat and in a microwave, cooks delicious rice without needing to adjust the heat or boiling over. The "ultimate rice pot" was born from the desire to enjoy delicious rice every day. ~The secret to the deliciousness of the ultimate rice pot lies in the far-infrared effect and the shape of the pot~ ■Because it uses a glaze with a high far-infrared effect, heat penetrates to the core of the rice grains, resulting in fluffy rice. In addition, it retains heat well and transmits it gently, so you can cook without adjusting the heat. It also has excellent heat retention. ■The secret to its deliciousness lies in the knob on the lid. There is another lid attached to the knob on the lid. By placing the lid (pressure regulating lid) on top, steam is trapped, the pressure is applied appropriately, and steam does not boil over or splash, resulting in delicious rice. *The pressure regulating lid is patent and utility model application filed. ■There is also a secret on the underside of the lid. The underside of the lid has these spiral protrusions. This shape allows steam to fall evenly onto the rice, making it delicious. *Patent and utility model application filed.

[Secret 1] Unlike conventional earthenware pots made of ceramic, the "Ultimate Rice Cooker" not only has a modern and chic design that suits contemporary lifestyles, but also uses a newly developed glaze applied to special heat-resistant clay to further enhance the far-infrared effect. This allows heat to penetrate to the core of the rice grains, resulting in fluffy cooked rice. Furthermore, its high heat retention means you don't need to worry about adjusting the heat midway through cooking; simply turn off the heat. The special heat-resistant clay is more crack-resistant and stronger than conventional heat-resistant earthenware pots.
[Secret 2] The small knob on the lid not only traps steam but also applies just the right amount of pressure, preventing boil-overs and splashes, resulting in delicious rice. But that's not all! This small knob also signals when the rice is boiling over with a sound. Simply turn off the heat when you hear a "rattling" sound, and you can cook delicious rice without any hassle, heat adjustments, or boil-overs. *Utility model application pending*
[Secret 3] The underside of the lid has spiral-shaped protrusions. This prevents steam from escaping, ensuring that condensation falls evenly onto the rice, resulting in delicious cooked rice. *Utility model application pending*
The "Ultimate Rice Pot" is completed through various processes in Arita ware. Each one is carefully handcrafted.
