The Goal: Restaurant-Quality Rice. Tiger Corporation's Ideal Cooking Method: "Go-hōbi Daki"

～ The moment it touches your tongue, aroma and umami spread, and the bursting, resilient grains reveal a deep sweetness with every chew ～

<New Features>

▼ "Heat": Approximately 300°C*, the highest temperature in Tiger's history, unlocks the sweetness of each grain with overwhelming power.

Clay pots, with their excellent heat retention, can heat rice at significantly higher temperatures than metal pots. The new JRX Series flagship model, by combining the heat retention of a clay pot with the newly adopted "300°C W Layer IH" structure, successfully raises the cooking temperature to approximately 300°C, the highest in Tiger's history.

▼ Newly Adopted, Tiger Corporation's First*2 "300°C W Layer IH"

The "300°C W Layer IH" features a two-layer IH coil structure on the bottom. This increases the heating power by approximately 160%*3 compared to the coil surface area of previous flagship models. The first layer of heating coils, which envelops the bottom of the pot, seamlessly transfers heat throughout the entire pot. The two-layer structure also replicates the intense heat and temperature difference of direct flame cooking with a clay pot.

Utilizing the slow heat transfer characteristic of clay pots, it creates vigorous yet gentle thermal convection, leveraging the temperature difference between the top and bottom to maximize the rice's sweetness and cook it rapidly.

Furthermore, thanks to the properties of clay, the far-infrared effect, approximately four times greater than that of metal pots*4, gently heats the rice to its core, enhancing its flavor.

Comparison of peak far-infrared radiation energy when the inner bottom temperature is 230°C for the clay pot and 110°C for the metal pot (simulating actual cooking temperatures). JRX-T100: 397.6 Wm⁻² μm⁻¹, JKT-P100 (2021 model): 97.7 Wm⁻² μm⁻¹ (based on Tiger Corporation's research).

▼ "Bubbles": Fine, gentle bubbles unique to clay pots cook rice without damaging the surface, resulting in distinct, well-defined grains.

In vigorous convection, the surface of the rice can become damaged, leading to a mushy texture or starch leaching from the damaged surface, reducing the rice's umami. However, "Go-hōbi Daki" cooks rice using the fine, gentle bubbles generated from the clay pot's surface.

By enveloping the rice grains with these clay pot bubbles during cooking, the surface is less likely to be damaged, preserving the rice's firmness and gloss, and further enhancing its distinct grain texture. This allows for the creation of ideal rice, with a lustrous appearance and well-defined grains, similar to that served in high-end restaurants, without compromising the umami, rich flavor, or texture.

▼ Evolving Cooking Modes for the Ultimate Deliciousness

① Expert Cooking for 70 Rice Varieties

Leveraging measurement data used in the world's largest rice competition*, which gathers over 5,700 rice varieties from Japan and abroad, in cooperation with the "Rice Taste Appraisal and Research Association." It scientifically analyzes the unique characteristics of each variety, such as moisture content, protein, and amylose levels, to cook them to perfection. This unique Tiger cooking mode imbues the rice with the passion of its producers.

*Rice Taste Analysis and Appraisal Competition: International Convention.

② Variety Download Function <New Feature>

Japan boasts approximately 900 varieties* of rice, with many new brands emerging annually. By linking with the app, users can download cooking programs for newly released rice brands. This allows for consistently updated cooking methods that adapt to the evolution of rice, ensuring the latest cooking techniques are used.

*According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries website, "Results of Agricultural Product Inspection for Reiwa 3 (2021) Rice."

③ Origin-Specific Cooking <New Feature>

Even within the same Koshihikari variety, data varies significantly depending on the land, water, and climate where it is grown. "Origin-Specific Cooking" now allows for differentiated cooking of Koshihikari from six regions, from Tohoku to Kyushu and Okinawa, across two brands. This maximizes the ideal sweetness, umami, and grain texture for each specific origin.

④ New Rice Acclaim Cooking <New Feature>* Limited function from around September to the end of January each year.

The fundamental purpose of a rice cooker is to cook delicious rice. Rice characteristics vary greatly with the seasons, and different cooking programs are ideally suited for each. With an updatable IoT rice cooker, it's possible to cook new rice using a program tailored to its specific characteristics. This allows for cooking rice with programs designed for new harvests, adapted to the specific variety.

① Reservation Time Change <New Feature>

Using the dedicated "TIGER HOME" app, you can change the rice cooking reservation time remotely. This allows you to adjust the cooking schedule if you arrive home earlier or later than planned.

② Rice Variety Sommelier <New Feature>

Select your preferred texture and taste from five categories: "Standard," "Chewy," "Light," "Soft," or "Firm." By providing feedback through the app, you can discover your ideal rice variety.

③ Monitoring Function <New Feature>

You can register not only your own rice cooker but also one for monitoring. When the monitoring function is turned on, you will receive daily push notifications about its usage status, which is helpful for keeping an eye on family members living far away.

Additionally, you can check your cooking history, monitor remaining rice and cooking status, and even set up automatic reordering of rice through Tiger's unique rice delivery service.

[Other Features]
The inner pot is made of "Yokkaichi Banko Ware," a traditional craft from Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture, renowned for its clay pottery. It comes with a reassuring 5-year warranty.
The "1-Cup Restaurant Style Cooking" uses a special inner lid to reduce the cooking space, ensuring that even when cooking just one cup, heat is evenly distributed to the rice, resulting in a fragrant and sweet finish. It also features an "O-hitsu" (rice keeper) function that maintains the freshly cooked taste while suppressing odors and yellowing.

Furthermore, there are no compromises on ease of use and cleaning. The "Large White Backlight LCD" with a touch panel provides excellent operability, and there are only two parts to clean: the inner pot and the inner lid.
The stress-free "Magnetic Detachable Inner Lid" snaps securely onto the main unit when released. The inner lid is also dishwasher-safe, emphasizing ease of daily maintenance.

Another notable new feature is the "Emotional Lamp" function, which allows you to see the status of the rice cooker at a glance. The color changes according to the status: red for cooking, orange for keeping warm, and green for reservation. This makes it easy to check the rice cooker's status from a distance. The light emanating from the cooker can also enhance the sense of excitement, like opening a jewelry box, signifying "supreme rice."


With new rice being so delicious this season, why not consider trying this product if you're particular about your daily rice?
