It is made in China. It's a beautiful set. The ceramic cranes are delicate yet study. The chopsticks are waxed so hand washing the set is highly recommended.

Made in China. It's funny, on another site these are listed as "Imported from Japan, Made in China".

They are made in China. They are very lovely. I bought two sets because they fit my set.

Yes, it is made in Japan. It's terrific. We've had ours for a couple years now and don't know how we ever got along without it.

I have the NS-TSC18 model and it says it's made in China. I don't know which models are actually made in Japan. Hope that helps a bit though.

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.

I looked at the set and can't tell. It doesn't say anywhere if it is actually made in Japan or elsewhere or if it is handmade. It is a beautiful little set, is heavy-duty and well-constructed, and very functional.

Suppose to be Made in Japan, but you will receive Made in China one if you buy it from Amazon. Poor quality knock offs, don't buy it here.

The mug itself does not say where it was made, but I believe the box it came in was marked "Made in Japan".

Yes, it's made in Japan. I still have the label on mine that says it is. And I love this product!

Yes, it is made in China. Like the USA, Japan outsources production to other countries where they can find cheaper labor. Regardless of where it was assembled this is a fantastic rice cooker.

I'm pretty sure it's made in China. I don't have the unit here to look at, but I think I remember noticing that. Maybe someone else will know.

Kent, I'm pretty sure this was mostly made in Japan (i.e. some objects made in China but all assembled in Japan)

I believe Japan, it was gifted. I have a similar model 7310-05420 since 2005, that's why i purchased another. Works great, disassembly easy to keep it clean.

China. If this is made in Japan, you'd be looking at hundreds of dollars easy.

I think it is manufactured in Japan. It is of excellent quality and I love the design and finish.

I previously had one made in Japan (purchased on Amazon) and my latest purchase is made in China. The quality does feel more cheap (lighter weight, typos in the packaging, although to be fair, the Japanese translations have always been sketchy). I will be returning - I wish Amazon would be more forthcoming about the switch.

Manufactured is Zojirushi. It is a Japanese company but it is made in china. No problem for home use.
