China. Depending on the company's (zojiroshi) quality expectations (costs of production) quality varies.

The company is from Japan but they are made in the US. Their US Corporate Headquarters is in California.

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

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

The product does say it is made in a city in Japan. It has been doing exceptionally well, not as good and my 10 years old Tiger rice maker. Buyers beware, most domestic and international products parts are made elsewhere, it may be assembled in Japan and then just label slapped.

This cooker uses the same design and construction that all Japanese rice cookers have had for decades. All direct heat contact parts are metal. I have one from 2004, use it several times / week, same approach, zero problems.

I didn't save the box, but I do know that the warranty is for Eau Claire Wisconsin, and the cookers are sent for repair in Canton, Massachusetts. They have been around a long time. My mother had one, and I had one in the sixties. Maybe you could google it and find if they're still manufactured here.

No, it is made in China as is one of my induction rice cookers. The other rice cooker and water heater are made in Japan. All four items of great quality however and I'd recommend this item even though it is not made in Japan. It is the usual Zojirushi quality and I'm very happy with it. I'd buy it again.

Yes, this Rice Cooker is made in China and not Japan. Its a great price though. The Tiger JBA T10U (5.5 Cup) and Tiger JBA-T18U (10 Cup) (3 in 1) is made in Japan.

yes, it says right on the rice cooker "made in Japan". The cooker has worked great from day one and the stainless steel look matches our kitchen well. We eat rice with every meal. We get many complements on it!

Yes....but it's a top of the line Zojirushi. Don't let that sway you. It is one of the best I've ever had. Excellent rice cooker.

If you can buy rice cooker like TIGER; ZOJIRUSHI; PANASONIC; SANYO, that made in JAPAN, it is the best ! But if you get one's that had the same name BUT made in China? It just a copy cat one's and won't last long @ all. I had both "TIGER 4 cups & ZOJIRUSHI 10 cups" for over 25 years and both made in JAPAN. Just replaced the thermal fuse at home on one of them last year after 25 year of using it. " fuse cost $2" , it back on and still going strong.

My old Thermos thermal cooker says made in Japan but these newer RPC-xxxx versions all say made in China. I can't tell any difference in quality from my old or new one and in fact the newer one has a clad bottom on the inner pot that is a big improvement over the old inner pot.

My cooker has a "made in Japan" label on it. I understand that all Tiger rice cookers are made in Japan.

On the back along with model number it says "made in Japan". This is our second winter with our hot water boiler and we love it. I first saw this item on a trip to Malaysia.

It is made in Japan. Works well every time, is easy to disassemble and clean as well. The retractable cord is a great feature is you keep it under the counter like I do. Excellent rice cooker!

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.
