Just about to pursue one of these. I am told by a neighbour that his
father's Chinese partner insists, absolutely, that an Asian version is
mandatory - none of this Western rice cooker stuff for her.

That being the case, what Asian ones are sold? All I know about are
Kambrook, GE etc etc. I didn't know there was a specifically Asian
electrical products line in anything.

Ready to be illuminated....

Tiger, National, Panasonic are the most commonly found brands that I know
of. All are Japanese, I believe (I'm not sure about Tiger, but it's very
commonly found in Japan so I assume it's Japanese). My parents used a
National for 20-some years (the same one), then a smaller National for maybe
10, now we've been using a Tiger that I brought back from Japan (it's 10
years old, too). They're all very good quality machines.

Besides the mentioned brands, you can add Hitachi, Tatung to your list. BTW
there is nothing wrong with American brands (Rival, Hamilton Beach etc) ,
except everything is made in Asia regardless of the brand.

The Japanese brand ZOJIRUSHI - Neuro Fuzzy is on the top of my list. It
cooks brown rice the best!
