Product Features

[The "True Double-Layered Bento Box Rice Cooker" uses a vacuum structure* to cook more delicious rice]
The latest model in the THANKO personal rice cooker series. Perfect for single servings, it can cook 0.5 to 1 cup of rice. The vacuum structure* locks in the umami of the rice, quickly cooking fluffy and plump rice.

Using the rapid cooking mode, rice can be cooked in as little as 14 minutes.

With its double-layer design, you can cook rice and side dishes simultaneously, eliminating the need to heat side dishes separately. In addition to simple steamed dishes, you can also heat retort pouches, frozen foods, and cooked meals at the same time.

*Here, "vacuum" refers to a state below atmospheric pressure.

[9 Years of Evolution for the THANKO Personal Rice Cooker]

The THANKO personal rice cooker, launched in 2017, will enter its 9th year in 2026.

The latest "True Double-Layered Bento Box Rice Cooker" retains the characteristic of rapid cooking and incorporates a vacuum structure*, making the rice even fluffier and more delicious.

In as little as 14 minutes, you can enjoy freshly cooked hot rice and side dishes.

The exterior has also been completely updated, featuring a soft, rounded shape similar to a Japanese magewappa bento box, blending naturally into any dining table or office setting.

[Principle of Fast and Delicious Vacuum Cooking]

By thoroughly heating and reducing pressure, rapid cooking is achieved. The process of pressure reduction and final pressure release then enhances the texture of the rice.

• Heating: Heats with high heat to fill the pot with steam.
• Pressure Reduction: After heating is complete, the air pressure drops, creating a vacuum* state that gradually expels air from inside the rice grains.
• Pressure Release: After opening the pressure reduction valve, moisture rapidly penetrates the core of the rice, cooking more plump and delicious rice.

[4 Modes Available]

Even without pre-soaking the rice, delicious rice can be cooked quickly.

Vacuum Mode
Cooking time: Approx. 20-25 minutes
Fully brings out the flavor of the rice through the vacuum structure.

Rapid Cooking Mode
Cooking time: Approx. 14-20 minutes
Suitable for busy mornings or when you want to eat immediately, ready in as little as 14 minutes.

Keep Warm Mode
Keeps warm at approx. 80°C for about 2 hours.

Reservation Mode

Also suitable for brown rice, which requires sufficient soaking.

[Brown Rice Can Also Be Cooked Deliciously]

Brown rice can be cooked to a chewy and soft texture, remaining soft even when cold.

Since brown rice requires a longer soaking time, it is recommended to use the reservation cooking mode.

[Simple 4 Steps]

Simply add ingredients and press the button.

1. Use the dedicated measuring cup to add rice and the specified amount of water.
2. Place the inner lid, then place the side dish tray with side dishes onto the main unit.
   *If necessary, line with food-grade plastic wrap or parchment paper.
3. Close the top lid, plug in the power, and start cooking.
4. After vacuum mode is complete, open the pressure release valve on the top lid to release steam.

*When using rapid cooking mode, there is no need to open the pressure release valve.
*Be extremely careful when opening the pressure release valve, as high-temperature steam may spray out.

[Rice and Side Dishes Can Be Cooked Simultaneously]

Whether in the office or at home, you can enjoy freshly cooked rice and hot side dishes in as little as 14 minutes.

The side dish tray has a capacity of approximately 300mL, allowing even large retort pouches to fit.

If the side dish tray is removed, only rice can be cooked.

[Easy to Clean]

Each component can be washed separately, making it easy to keep clean.

[Space-Saving and Easy to Store]

When stored, the overall height can be reduced, making it easy to place in narrow spaces like dish cabinets.

[Monthly Electricity Bill Approx. 70 Yen]

Based on using it once a day for one month, the electricity bill is approximately 70 yen.

The compact size and simple operation also make it suitable for use with a power bank for car camping or outdoor activities.
