This product is new and unused. This is a rice cooker for 2-3 go (Japanese unit of volume, about 0.18 liters) of rice, the "Yuzake Marugata" model. No heat adjustment is required; for 3 go, cook on medium-high heat for about 15 minutes. (Excluding soaking time before cooking and steaming time after cooking) Also, as the product is made from natural materials such as clay and minerals, there may be slight individual differences in color and texture depending on the product. Please understand this beforehand. Pinholes, iron spots, hairline scratches, and scuff marks are unavoidable during the pottery manufacturing process. We appreciate your understanding. Because earthenware pots have low thermal conductivity, it takes time for the inside to heat up, naturally creating the "first, low heat" stage. As it heats slowly, the starch in the rice turns into sugar, and the sweetness increases. Earthenware pots with high heat retention keep the boiling state for a long time once they boil, naturally creating the "middle, steady boil" stage. Vigorous convection occurs, so there is no uneven cooking. During the steaming time, heat gradually penetrates the rice, and excess moisture is thoroughly removed, resulting in fluffy, perfectly cooked rice grains. ■ Size: Approximately 19.5cm x 18.0cm x Height 17.0cm ■ Opening Diameter: Approximately 14.0cm ■ Body Weight: Approximately 1.58kg ■ Capacity: 1500cc ■ Material: Heat-resistant ceramic (Banko ware) ■ For gas use only (Not compatible with IH cooktops) ■ Pre-use treatment Fill the earthenware pot with about 80% water and bring to a boil.

After that, rinse thoroughly, dry completely, and then use. ■ Lines indicating the water level for 2 and 3 go of rice ■ Made in Japan Although the product is new and unused, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections.
