If you live in Europe, those aren’t really usable due to the electric grid system being different in Japan, and most of those rice cookers aren’t made for other markets.
Instead, you can buy any Cuckoo rice cooker: being made in South Korea they use the exact same electric grid system and socket. They are of similar quality and can be bought in the US too.

- layer8 3y agoNo need for an adaptor, the units have a standard IEC 60320 C14 connector and are sold both with UK and EU plugs: https://yum-asia.com/eu/product-category/rice-cookers/?filter_brand=zojirushi https://yum-asia.com/eu/product-category/rice-cookers/?filte...

- Havoc 3y agoThey sell 240v ones. And they have kettle plugs so anywhere that has computers will be trivial to get right plug For uk it came with right one anyway out of the box
- schainks 3y agoCuckoo was a risky change well worth it. We got a fancy model induction pressure cooker (which also happens to look like the front of the sci-fi ship Event Horizon) and can really taste the difference in how the rice comes out. Also there is something slightly sarcastic and dystopian about the voice it uses in English mode, which kind of adds to the fun.
