Limited to 120 units! Special sale of the made-to-order TIGER Limited Model

Tiger overturns the stereotypes of rice cookers.
We use all our acquired skills and pursue only the ideal.

Tiger Corporation (President: Yoshisato Kikuchi, Headquarters: Kadoma City, Osaka), a world leader in thermal control technology, will specially sell the TIGER limited models, 土鍋ご泡火炊き JRX-MC and the 土鍋ご泡火炊き JRX-BC, as special rice cookers celebrating the 20th year forTiger’s rice cookers with a ceramic inner pot that overturn the existing stereotypes, exclusively limited to 120 units. We will start accepting orders on November 4, 2025 on Tiger’s official Online Store (https://www.tiger-corporation.com/ja/jpn/product/limited-ricecooker/), and shipments will be made in order.

Tiger’s rice cookers with a ceramic inner pot have evolved significantly over the past 20 years through repeated innovations in technology and careful craftsmanship that require about three months of time and effort by skilled craftsmen. While the market has grown and customers have accepted our products, many technologies have been given up due to business feasibility and mass production issues. We are in a time when the value of rice is being re-evaluated due to a rice shortage and soaring rice prices. But with ideas like “We want to deliver the ideal rice cooker packed with Tiger’s technology” and “Can’t we develop a rice cooker for a new era that goes beyond the industry’s conventional wisdom?” in mind, we are taking on the challenge of producing Tiger’s first completely made-to-order rice cooker with a ceramic inner pot.

Tiger’s rice cookers with a ceramic inner pot are finished to the strictest dimensional accuracy, with an inner diameter error of less than 1.0 mm for the authentic ceramic inner pot. TIGER limited models are finished more stricter dimensional accuracy, with an inner diameter error of less than 0.09mm form the authentic ceramic inner pot and each pot is assembled by hand by highly specialized engineers, rather than on a production line. We are so thoroughly committed to quality that we can produce a maximum of only two units to be finished in one day. In terms of coloring, the Material Color Series expresses an unprecedented luxurious texture through the use of hand-spraying technology, and the Bright Color Series offers a new style of coloring that breathes new life into the dining table, making a clear distinction from the standard black and white coloring used in the rice cooker industry.
As limited models that surpass Tiger’s top-of-the-line models, they will be the most luxurious rice cookers ever sold in Japan in the history of Tiger.　

Since the launch of the donabe rice cooker in 2006, which was the first in the industry to use an authentic ceramic pot for the inner pot, we have been improving our technology and challenging new common sense. Through the TIGER limited models, which are handcrafted one by one with thorough attention to quality and texture, we will create new value with rice cookers that bring together more than 100 years of Tiger’s technological expertise and deliver them to your dining table.

Relentless pursuit of technology

High technological capabilities that have pushed the precision of authentic donabe (ceramic inner pot)

Tiger’s rice cookers with a ceramic inner pot use Yokkaichi Banko ware, a traditional craft of Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture. The large heat and gentle bubbling of the ceramic inner pot brings out the sweetness and flavor of the rice in the mouth and the springy texture of each grain of rice. These fine rice cookers produce rice in its ideal form—refined and full of flavor, like the donabe rice served in top-class ryotei restaurants.

Ceramic inner pots shrink by about 10% during the firing process, which often results in a large tolerance. However, Tiger’s rice cookers with a ceramic inner pot adjust the soil mixture according to climate and humidity, achieving mass production with extremely high precision—an inner diameter error of less than 1.0 mm for the authentic ceramic inner pot. With disregarding mass production the TIGER limited models, this individual difference is controlled with an inner diameter error of 0.09 mm or less, we pursued the utmost in user-friendliness as a tool.

Donabe is ceramic, and curved surfaces are extremely difficult to cut, so each inner pot is carefully shaved over time with a special blade containing diamonds, taking approximately 20 to 24 hours. In this cutting, we use high-precision processing machines used in the defense industry, and we are proud of our world-class high precision in cutting. The capacity is also as close to the designed value as possible, realizing the ideal accurancy even though it is a natural donabe pot.

*JRX-MC model only

Integrated assembly process by highly specialized engineers

A single engineer with many years of experience in rice cooker manufacturing works through the entire assembly process. Pressure, which determines the taste of rice, is tuned for up to 90 minutes using a special pressure tuning device for this product to check and adjust the pressure for each unit and to ensure highly accurate pressure control. With a maximum production of two units per day, we have spared no effort or time in the work and thoroughly focused on quality.

Unparalleled special coating techniques

The TIGER limited models pursue a unique color scheme. In addition to robot coating, craftsmen hand-sprayed each unit according to color and parts, and applied six many layers of coating to create a three-dimensional effect. We have also realized coloring on stainless steel, which was difficult to achieve in the past, and have paid special attention to further increase the sense of luxury.
Furthermore, 土鍋ご泡火炊き JRX-MC features coloring technology and a negative LCD for the frame for an even higher level of quality and visibility.

Q. What is the difference between this rice cooker and the previous ones?

This product is the pinnacle of Tiger’s technology, made possible only through “limited made-to-order production,” which sets it apart from previous mass-produced models. By not being bound by production volume, we have eliminated all compromises in rice cooking performance, comfort of use, and design, giving form to the ideals we are pursuing.

Until now, there have been many “ideal technologies” that had to be put off because they were unprofitable due to cost and mass productivity issues. We believe that we can deliver the excellence of such technology to our customers in the form of limited production. It was with this in mind that we began the development of this product.

Q. What value do you want to introduce to the world with this product?

“Gohan” (rice) is the origin of Japanese food culture, and its value is now being re-evaluated. With this product, we want to deliver not just a home appliance, but the “emotional experience of tasting the world’s most delicious rice at home” itself. This product, a culmination of Japanese technology, will bring new richness and smiles to dining tables around the world. That is our wish.

Our goal is to always have the “best option for every customer.” To this end, we will apply the lessons learned from this product to mass-produced models for daily use and raise the basic performance of rice cookers to the highest level in the industry. At the same time, for customers who have a strong passion for food, we will never stop searching for the “ultimate taste” that can only be achieved with a limited model. We will continue to faithfully respond to each and every customer’s diversifying needs.

Q. What technologies did you pursue differently from the usual flagship models? How great are they?

In order to distinguish itself from the usual flagship models, we have utilized the ultimate technology in pursuit of the “authentic taste.”

Cutting technology for ceramic pots

The cutting technology of ceramic pots is a fusion of special machinery used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and master craftsmanship. We have achieved precision molding down to a few microns, which is impossible in the manufacture of general products. This remarkable precision faithfully reproduces even heat conduction without uneven cooking and fluffy rice cooking with good grain quality that the developers have established through thousands of rice cooking experiments.

Six layers of “hand-spray coating”

The inner pot is finished with a hand-spray coating, in which skilled craftsmen carefully spray six layers of coating on each pot one by one. This has resulted in a beautiful luster and deep hue that changes expression depending on the angle of view and light. You will enjoy not only the deliciousness of the rice, but also the beauty that embodies the “beauty of use.”

Final adjustments by skilled workers

Unlike regular production lines that produce tens of thousands of units per year with uniform quality, these models are carefully assembled one by one with artisan skills of dedicated skilled workers. The cover opening and closing, pressure adjustments, and even the slightest error in each part are fine-tuned by hand to create a unit that delivers the best performance. Only two units can be produced per day, making it a true gem of a rice cooker that deserves to be called a “master cooker.”

Q. What do you expect from this product?

The development of EC has changed the distribution of products dramatically. Nowadays, a simple flow, which can be said the origin of manufacturing, is accelerating: “From the creator to the customer.” We want to deliver better products to improve the quality of life (QOL) of each of our customers, and want them to use our products for a long time. And as a manufacturer, we face our customers one-on-one and assume responsibility for them. We believe that this rice cooker will be a catalyst for realizing the warm-hearted way of consumption based on the “old-fashioned hand-to-hand” concept.We sincerely hope that through this product we can build a new relationship between customers and manufacturers.
