Made in Japan - not in China, not in Malaysia, not in Taiwan nor in any other of the usual low-paying-wage countries.

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.

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.

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.

The batteries say "made in Japan" but the charger says "made in China" though the built quality of both is of very high quality.

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 bought mine last April. It's made in China. That said the build quality looks as good as Japanese and it's worked fine thus far.

I think it is made in Japan because its head office is in Japan but its parts and service support are in US, Canada, and Australia.

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.

The Tiger models that start with "JNP" are made in Japan. There are others that are made in China, but they have different model numbers.

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.

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 :)

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
