If it's helpful, I wrote to Zojirushi about this subject and received a very nice reply listing all models and country of manufacture. I've pasted the list below:Our rice cookers are manufacture in Japan, Thailand, or China. Here is a breakdown of our models and origin. Manufactured in Japan: NP-HBC10/18 NP-KAC10/18 NP-GBC05 NS-ZCC10/18 NS-KCC05 NS-DAC10 Manufactured in China: NS-TGC10/18 NS-WAC10/18 NS-PC10/18 NS-LAC05 Manufactured in Thailand: NS-RNC10/18A NHS-06/10/18

My 3 cup NS-KCC05 bought from Amazon.com says "Made In Japan" right under the controls on the front (you can kind of see it in the picture) and on the box. But in my local Oriental market I saw a 5.5 cup model that said "Made In China" on the box. They may have more than one manufacturing site.

I bought mine in Japan and 20 years later, it still works perfectly. I bought my daughter the one on Amazon and it is the EXACT same thing.... Quality reigns.... I checked the side label... it's made in Japan :)

Sorry this is not Made in Japan. Please check for NS-Zcc10 and NS-yac10. These 2 are Made in Japan.

It stated they have japanese seals. I did not check where it was made but I can say they work pretty well and seemed very sturdy and also have lifetime warranty. Dont be sfraid to buy.

Hi, it does not say where it is made on its body. I do not have box now. I saw made in Japan on the website when ordering.I was and am so attached to my old kettle that served me for 20 + years. This one did not exceed my expectation. paid 119, no SH. Ask me more questions if you have any.

I'm thinking Japan, but I might be refrencing the history. They are great knives - I have a full set. They come with free lifetime sharpening from their Tualatin, OR facility. You can Google - Kai knives.

Mine is made in Japan. Works well as it's supposed to. I would buy it again.

This specific model is made in China sadly. Although with that being said, I still really like the knife and this other comment is correct it is extremely well built.

China. My Rice Cooker is made there too. I believe Zojirushi has the same mindset as Sony. Keep the Japanese manufactured products in Japan and make the exports in China. Regardless, the product is quality and beats anything else hands down.

I bought one less than a year ago, and mine was made in Japan, it probably still is. It is wonderful, I wouldn't be without one.

Is Google down for you? Conceived and designed in Sweden, manufactured in Japan. Originally Germany. Whatever, fantastic knife.

Mine is also made in Thailand. It is very good quality and I trust it was built well. I used to teach English in Japan and some of my students included regional managers who would be assigned to go to the Philippines or Thailand with a group of Japanese to make these. From my understanding, it's made in another country by Japanese people. I was given the impression that costs of having a factory in those countries are (obviously) cheaper.

Mine is made in Japan and I ordered it via Amazon. I'm guessing all of these would be, but I'm not 100% sure.

Mine is also made in Thailand, kept my water hot overnight up in the sub temperatures of Kilimanjaro. Japan made ones are probably very difficult to find now.

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!

Even though they mentioned in the description designed and made in japan i better to ask people who already bought the product prior the buying. Thanks mate this really makes a deference. you're rock
