Rice Cookers - Which One and Where to Buy in Tokyo?
Hope some of our Japan locals can give me some advice. I am looking for a Japan-made rice cooker with a max no-tax budget of about Y45,000 with English instructions and US electric compatibility that offers at least some of these features:
1. IH not microprocessor
2. clay pot or similar material - ability to char some of the rice, and use steam and pressure to sweeten it (we generally cook with haiga rice)
3. steam and pressure
4. ability to cook other food - e.g., marinated chicken, meats, vegetables
Sort of a one-stop-shop cooking device where you can prepare different dishes aside from rice.
Aside from the model itself, what is a good store and location that offers the best pricing on rice cookers for foreign use? Doesn't need to be Akihabara, it can be a non-tourist area off the beaten path.
