Yes it is and I love it! I also cook potatoes as well as soup in it. I use it 3 to 4 times a week.

Yes, the rice cooker is made in Japan. In fact , it is advertised on Japan TV as being one of the best.

Rice Cooker was made in Taiwan. This is a great rice cooker - stainless steel bowl is easy to clean w/o concern of teflon getting old and peeling.

I don't see anything in English that says made in Japan. Except for some English instructions in a small booklet, everything else on the box and inside is written in what I believe to be Japanese.

I got mine a year ago and the box said Japan. I will tell you that it's the best grater I've ever used for ginger and lemon peel, though.

Yes it is. There are some Tiger rice cookers that are made in Japan as well as some by Zojirushi. That being said it is a very well made rice cooker and we use it very often. Although, I like to by products made in the US that just isn't an option in this segment. Hope this helps.

No, it's aluminum. Very low grade non-stick aluminum, at that. My understanding is that some of these units were constructed with non-stick SS cookers, but those offered for sale here are not. The only stainless steel on this unit is the very thin facing on the front of the machine. Also, this is a Chinese built unit: not built in Japan, despite the name.The one I bought from Amazon, I donated to Salvation Army. The cheapness of the build was appalling, and the vastly protracted cooking times were absurd. Two hours for brown rice! My $15. rice cooker puts this thing to shame. Seriously. No, it's aluminum.

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.

Concur with the other owners, company is listed in Canada, believe the cooker is built In Asia, but in my option it is good quality. I use mine several times a week and I have recommended this to friends.

Don't know, but I don't like it. The start button on the rice cooker is faulty. A pain to turn on and I just bought it :((

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.

China. This is my second Chinese-made Tiger rice cooker. The first one, with a larger capacity, has worked perfectly for years. I bought this one for a vacation house.

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.
