Tiger Corporation (President: Yoshisato Kikuchi, Headquarters: Kadoma City, Osaka), a world leader in thermal control technology, launched a new product, the Specialty IH Rice Cookers for Commercial Use “炊きたて” JIK-P180 (1 sho cooker), on July 21, 2025.
In recent years, the restaurant industry has faced severe challenges such as rising food prices and labor shortages, requiring a reduction of food loss and more efficient operations. This product, equipped with the Soaked Rice Setting, has been developed to meet these needs. The Soaked Rice Setting cooks 1 go of rice in 15 minutes* and quickly prepares freshly cooked, delicious rice. Small amounts of rice can be served in a short time, eliminating the need to cook more rice and cutting down food loss. It also leads to cost reduction.
In order to allow more restaurants to experience the appeal of Tiger’s commercial-use rice cookers, we will launch a two-week free trial campaign for this product along with the Specialty Rice Cookers for Commercial Use “炊きたて” JMA-A360 (2 sho cooker) that were released last year.
Through this product, which utilizes the heat control technology we have developed over many years, we will support restaurants by reducing the work and costs associated with food disposal, thereby helping to solve the problem of food loss and realize a sustainable society.

With the “far-infrared three-layer ceramic-coated inner pot” and “Premium Strong Fire IH,”
the rice cooker brings out the original sweetness and flavors of rice.
The far-infrared three-layer ceramic coated inner pot is constructed of multiple layers of thermally conductive materials covered with heat-sealing coatings. The inner pot with the three-layer metal structure is heated efficiently. The far-infrared coating on the material of the ceramic inner pot enhances the far-infrared effect, evenly and thoroughly distributing heat to every grain to produce sweet, flavorful rice.
Premium High-heat Powerful IH that brings out the original sweetness and flavors of rice. The bottom and wall of the inner pot are heated as if the entire inner pot was encompassed by a strong fire so that the cooked rice can be plump to the core. The rice is also steamed at high temperatures, which accelerates gelatinization of the rice to bring out the original sweetness and flavor of the rice.

You can choose the best way to cook rice for your restaurant’s menu offerings from White Rice, Quick Cook, Soaked Rice, Mixed Grains, Brown Rice, Mixed Rice, Porridge, Fried rice, and Sushi/Curry. These courses are also available for pre-washed rice.
