Easily cook delicious rice in just 30 minutes with the Ginpo Kikka Banko Donabe Rice Cooker.

This pot can cook up to 750g of rice, which is 5 rice cooker cups (5 Gou). *Note: 1 Gou equals 150g of rice. Use 1.1 to 1.2 times the amount of water as rice.

The double-lid design prevents spills, and by simply turning off the heat when you see steam, you can enjoy perfectly cooked rice every time.

It’s not just for rice—use it for stews like oden or soups. The pot helps ingredients soak up the broth, enhancing the umami.
