I received it yesterday morning – actually it had arrived before I’d even seen your e-mail! (Well done for getting it out so fast). Having spent a couple of years working in Tokyo I know how good rice cookers could be, and I’d been searching high and low for a supplier from which I could obtain a decent one. I’d resigned myself to having to lug one back from Japan next month on my holidays (then shell out again for a transformer in the UK), when I came across an update on justhungry.com referring to Yum Asia.Although I’ve only managed to use it the once yesterday (Japanese style rice porridge with fish), the difference in performance and quality between this one and the those available in UK retailers was immediately apparent. No kitchen full of steam, no overspill from a loose lid, no crispy bits at the bottom from uneven heating. White rice with natto tonight I think – can’t wait!Summary: super-quick service and delivery, outstanding rice cooker – couldn’t be happier! I was particularly looking for a cooker with a smaller capacity and timer functions, and my NS-LAQ05 is perfect. Thanks! (And expect an order for a water heater in the near future).
