My Japanese friend gave her big Yumasia one to me as she wasn’t quite happy with how it cooked Japanese style short grain rice and I was simply curious how I would get on with a rice cooker. I had no problem with it for Japanese short grain rice but preferred the “yumami” setting (65 minutes) over the standard one (35 minutes). The rice was always ever so slightly on the dry side but very edible.
