What Makes Sakura Special?

Sakura is a great all rounder ? it’s ideal for the growing family or people who just love eating rice! Sakura can cook all types of rice perfectly at the touch of a button but also has useful complementary add on multi functions. Our advanced fuzzy logic (AI) technology controls the temperature using phased cook cycles for the efficient and perfect cooking of many different types of rice. You can cook long grain, short grain (including sushi and glutinous rice), brown rice (short or long grain). Sakura doesn’t just cook perfect rice, it cooks other grains like quinoa, cous cous, millet and pearl barley perfectly too. The add on functions include porridge that can be used for rice or oat porridge, slow cook, steam (steam basket included), soup, cake baking, crust (for Persian Tahdig) and yoghurt.. Sakura is designed to be used in the US (120V, 60Hz power) and is supplied with a US detachable power cord.

Sakura's functions us advanced fuzzy logic (AI) programming to control the temperature for the efficient cooking of many different types of rice including long grain, short grain (sushi), brown rice and a quick cook option if you want the rice cooked a little faster. Sakura is designed to cook rice using over 7 distinct phases to produce perfect rice every time and to carefully retain nutrients, aroma, texture and give a great taste. This phased cooking and adjustments in temperature are controlled using Sakura’s microprocessor and ensure perfectly cooked rice every time. Sakura also has an improved 10 minute countdown timer for rice cook functions to give you advanced warning of when your perfectly cooked rice will be ready for serving.

Yum Asia’s rice cookers have a 24 hours automatic keep warm - it keeps rice at an ideal serving temperature until it's ready to be served. There is a countdown indicator during the cooking cycle and when the rice is cooked a beep sounds and the cooker automatically shifts to keep warm mode. This keep warm temperature has been designed to be optimal for safe rice preservation. For added convenience, there is a pre-set time function which can be set up to 24 hours in advance, so you can have delicious rice ready for when you come in from work or steaming hot porridge waiting on a cold winter's morning.

Sakura has unique Asian styling with a tough, hard-wearing and easy to clean thermoplastic polymer exterior. It has a state of the art Korean designed 'Motouch' control panel with an extra-large, cool ice blue LED display which is super-sharp and bright. Unlike other rice cookers, the control panel doesn't have any push buttons. Instead it has a hygienic modern 'Motouch' control panel which is pressure/touch sensitive and detects your finger when you place it on an icon

We have designed every aspect of Sakura with our customers in mind and decided to include a hard-wearing, 5 layer inner bowl with a 2mm thick ceramic coating which is BPA-free and PTFE/PFOA free. Our Ninja bowls also have easy to read silk print water level lines for different types of rice.

Sakura has a heating element on the inside bottom of the unit and a unique 3D heating design. This means that the heat from the heating element is dispersed around the sides of the bowl and heat also comes from the stainless steel inner lid to apply heat downwards into the inner bowl for more even cooking of rice and other dishes.

The stainless steel inner lid, steam cap and condensation collector are all removable for easy cleaning and no mess. The slick thermopolymer exterior is easily wiped down for that new appearance every time and added hygiene.

Sakura uses advanced fuzzy logic (AI) to ensure rice is cooked perfectly every time. The graph above shows how our fuzzy logic / AI processor adjusts the temperature using the weight and detecting the heat inside the cooker along with pre-programmed conditions to cook rice on a typical cooking cycle.

Sakura also uses at least 7 phases of cooking which includes preheat, absorb water, heating, boiling, steam, cool down and keep warm with steam which are each calculated for time and temperature using the advanced fuzzy logic to create the perfect rice for your meal.

Sakura has a Korean designed 'MoTouch' control panel with an easy to cool ice blue crisp and bright LED display. The touch sensitive buttons are easy to operate and it's clean glossy black exterior and brushed silver metallic lid gives Sakura a modern stylish appearance.

"We are the rice cooking experts!"

At Yum Asia we love Asian food but found that the biggest problem is that we couldn't replicate the perfect rice we found when we were in restaurants! No matter how hard we tried, rice cooked in a saucepan just wasn't the same. After some really disastrous purchases of non-fuzzy logic rice cookers, which rather than cooking the perfect rice we were looking for, just spat out starchy water all over our kitchen worktop, we bought a fuzzy logic rice cooker and it changed the way we cook completely. From 2006 onward we coined the phrase 'Perfect rice at the touch of a button'.
