Is this made in Japan or China?

The box says made in China, but all the writing on the box and the manual are NOT in chinese writing (for sure). I purchased it beginningof this year and haven't used it yet, one of those things you keep putting it off, but someday I'll find the time to use it.

Hi John. I think most Panasonic products are made in China. It is a very nice piece of machine. I could be wrong, but I'm not looking at the product, so I'm not certain of the manufacturing origin. I don't quite know if it's critical that it's made in a certain country. It's a very well made machine, and it's Panasonic.

I believe it is. It took a long time to arrive to my location and it said made in Japan.

See the video. It used to be made in Japan but not now as most of these are made and assembled in China.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdFdjloBrd8

Yes it was made in Japan, but when it was shipped we didn't,use right away but when we did the glass liner was cracked ant the thermal was useless, we tried getting credit from Amazon and the maker but we're told ----out of luck because we didn't,t have the paper work. So check it when you get it.

The one I got was made in China. I was expecting that it was made in Japan, the same as what we had before.

Hi Christine, It's definitely not made in Japan. I believe it is Made in China but I don't know 100% because I took the little gold sticker off that said, "Made in XXX." I just know it wasn't made in Japan.

It is made in Japan. The handle, replacement blade and packaging all state, "Made in Japan".

Yes, it is made in Japan. I bought two in 1993 and when they I need to replace them 15 years later, I couldn't find them. I'm prepared this time, I have 3!

Yes it is made in China. The Japanese costs a little more. I was also debating what to do and I can tell you this one works really well for rice (haiga). I did not try the steamer etc.

It's companay is Japan but this is made in China. If you want Japanese made, you need to get JNP model. See my review for the difference.

I believe that I am correct in this, they are made in Japan. Again, I am sold on the excellent quality of this product.
