Presently use a Zojirushi NS-LC05 (Made in China for Japan market). Cooks white, whole grain, okowa, unmilled, okayu, and processed brown rice. Use it mostly for, whole grain, and okowa ! Max 3 cups, which can last the 2 of us over 2-3 meals. It is a very good machine going on year 3 now. Was hesitant to buy MIC machine, but MIJ machine was 8,000 JPY more. Couldn't be happier!
