Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I’ve got an unhealthy amount of rice cookers because I have the stupid hobby of trying them and writing about it, and among them are 4 (so far) yum Asia cookers. Tsuki, Sakura (main-cooker), Panda and Kumo... Sakura (main-cooker)
  • I’ve got a Fuji, Sakura and a Tsuki at home. Had Zojirushis in Japan. Find your sweet spot in terms of water would be my advice
  • The reason for the bamboo/sakura would be as it’s bigger I’d assume it can handle more vegetables to be steamed. As well as the cake option.
  • I love my Yum Asia Sakura and personally I think it is worth the extra money to be able to use it a a slow cooker. I just use it all the time. Mostly for rice, but it does so many good one pot meals too
  • Yum Asia Sakura. it's available on amazon, amazing machine.

Cons

  • Sakura has a minimum of 1 cup of raw rice. You could try half a cup and it may work however the results are more unpredictable so our recommended minimum amount is 1 cup.
  • I have one and you have to use 2 of the little measuring cups minimum.

I have the Yum Asia Sakura and love it- after trying 2 other ‘bargain’ brands and having dismal results.
