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 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 UK or Europe (220-240V, 50Hz power) and is supplied with a UK 3 pin plug and power cord.
Advanced Fuzzy Logic
Sakura uses our Yum Asia designed advanced fuzzy logic 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 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.
24 Hour Keep Warm/Timer
Unique to Yum Asia’s rice cookers is 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. For added convenience, there is a preset 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 nice, steaming hot porridge waiting on a cold winter’s morning.
Where Function And Style Create Perfection
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, the ‘Motouch’ is pressure/touch sensitive and detects your finger when you place it on an icon
Ninja Ceramic Bowl
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. Now with improved easy to read silk print water level lines for different types of rice.
3D Heating Technology
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.
Easy Cleaning / Good Hygiene
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.
7 Phased Rice Cooking Using Advanced Fuzzy Logic
Sakura uses advanced fuzzy logic to ensure rice is cooked perfectly every time. The graph above shows how the fuzzy logic microprocessor adjusts the temperature using the weight and detecting the heat inside the bowl along with pre-programmed conditions to cook rice on a typical cooking cycle.
Sakura also uses 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.
1. Preheat – Sakura starts to gently heat the rice and water in the inner bowl to between 50-60°C. This begins the cooking cycle and is key to the release of sugars into the water from the rice grains.
2. Absorb Water – The cooking temperature is further increased whilst the advanced fuzzy logic makes small adjustments to obtain a range of between 50-80°C so the rice can optimally start absorbing the water depending on the setting chosen.
3. Heating – The temperature is increased again to between 75-85°C to start the actual cooking process. This varies depending on the setting chosen.
4. Boiling – Sakura then rapidly increases the temperature to 100˚C boiling point to evaporate the majority of the water from the inner bowl and to further cook the rice part way.
5. Steam – The steaming part of the cooking cycle enables the rice to continue cooking while reabsorbing the sugars in the remaining water back into the rice whilst simultaneously evaporating the remaining water. This part of the cycle makes the rice taste sweeter, more nutritious, have better aroma/texture and completes the final rice grain cooking.
6. Cool Down – Water balancing then occurs using low temperature range cycling to ensure there is no remaining water left and that the rice has the correct moisture content.
7. Keep Warm and Steam – The temperature is then held at an optimal 70-74°C to continue to steam the rice and keep the rice safe of bacteria etc . This ensures the rice is perfectly cooked, fluffy and delicious and ready for when you need it.

Ideal for the growing family or people who just love eating rice. Look at what it can do:
| Designed By People That Know Rice Cooking“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’. |

Genuinely a 5 star product, incredibly easy to use and perfect rice everytime. Also works great for stocks and slow cooking!
We’ve used it a few times for rice so far, but after using it I have come to the conclusion that I have never cooked rice correctly.
It’s fast, easy and makes meals a lot less hassle.
That’s even without the steamer, slow cooker function.
I ummed and arred for ages on whether I should spend the money on this. I had a crockpot style rice cooker that kinda did the job but it spat rice water and steam all over the surfaces and made me want to replace it. I couldn’t be happier with the sakura.
Measure, wash, add water, press button and ding and it’s done. It’s perfect every time and I love the countdown too, I’ve left rice warming for a lot longer than I would with previous cookers and it’s still great to eat. Even tried making rice pudding with it. Try making rice with a tomato or two in the cooker. It’s amazing.
Great product. Very different from ordinary rice cookers and produces great rice. Not tried any other functions as ye
Really easy to use fantastic well cooked rice very easy to clean after I would have like a rice cookbook along with it or one specific to the rice maker to buy
Ive tried lots of different types of rice. From sushi to long grain in the cooker. Rice comes out perfect everytime. Definitely worth it. Grea
Very easy to set up, clear display and fool proof operation. I’ve been using jasmine rice and the sakura cooks it to perfection.
Absolutely delighted with this rice cooker! Very good looking cooker with state of the art functions. Makes rice and congee (porridge) perfectly. That’s the only options we’ve used so far. Steam foods well too and comes with a steamer basket and accessories. Easy to clean. Would recommend. Well worth it.
Wow so I bought this as and I’m so glad I did. The rice we cooked (first try was basmati) was amazing. Came out really fluffy and the smell while it was cooking was so nice. The inside bowl is easily washable and it just slots back in. The measurements are so clear; it doesn’t just do rice either, cakes , porridge, slow cook, steam and you can make sushi in it. A great buy!!!!!
I’ve had quite a bit of experience with rice cookers over the years with various brands – and have to say that this rice cooker is absolutely fantastic! – it’s extremely well made and is really well designed with a clear and logical layout of control buttons and a nice digital screen. It’s packaged well and comes with extremely comprehensive instructions and recipe ideas. It’s easy to setup and clean and the most important part.. the actual job it’s designed to do (cook rice) – it performs flawlessly!!.. the rice came out perfectly! – I’m looking forward to using this a lot more in the future. If you’re looking for a new rice cooker then I’d highly recommend this one – it’s fantastic!
I didn’t see the instructions for cooking rice for one. In response to my question on this the seller and a number of other owners gave me information. I have now had my first savoury rice meal for one out of it and loved it.
Brilliant product, for rice, slow cooking, will try more as so far very versatile.
Cleaning has been easy as a lot of it can be removed in parts, comes with a manual with some cooking recipes and advice to help how to make rice just right.
The photo is my third attempt with the cooker basmati rice and chicken cut in chunks and put in it’s steam bucket you can put in the cooke
I’ve only used this to make rice and congee.. and I have to say it’s the best thing ever..!
I was soooo reluctant to give up my previous rice cooker as it was given to me by my Mum – but it had had it’s day many moons ago..
Little did I realise, my former rice cooker was nothing in comparison..!
This one, honestly, doesn’t matter what rice you cook (for us Orientals – there is a massive emphasis on always having to buy the best rice in town..! ‘NEW CROP’..!) but using this, no matter the rice, it comes out amazing each and every time..! I can’t big it up enough..!
Also, I love congee, and gone are the days of standing over a big pot stirring endlessly as it spits out at me burning me with Hell degrees..! this cooker, you bung in the rice, add whatever you like in it, and leave it to go have a nap.. 1hr later, you wake up and you have the best ever congee..
I haven’t used this cooker for anything else, and unlikely to.. for me, it’s all about the rice and congee and you just cannot go wrong with this little beauty..!
Also, the controls are touch screen which makes keeping it clean much easier, and looks really snazzy..!
Whats not to love about the Sakura, ease of use and the end cooked product is just amazing
Just like my mum old rice cooker but twice as better .
I purchased this as a present for my dad’s birthday and also to replace the super expensive 500 rice cooker he bought which broke!! This works just as good in my opinion and no fuss. Very easy to set up and use. Very good value for money and not bulky. As an Asian household we use this every couple of days. It feeds a family of 5 and has enough for left overs. Couldn’t be any happier with the purchase.
I can cook rice perfectly well. However this can do it to perfection whilst I do much less boring things. Plus it keeps it hot until ready which is a total bonus. Bao buns are always perfect. It’s easy to use and reliable This is absolutely the best but of kit I’ve bought for my kitchen and worth every penny.
So I obviously bought a rice cooker cause I’m all about dat anime life cause regular rice in a pot is for normies. Perfect for making jam filled doughnuts (as you can see in the picture).
In all seriousness it’s a very good appliance that doesn’t just do really nice rice but can also do stews (which we tried out and it was delicious), cakes and stuff like that. It’s super easy to use and the instruction manual is so elaborate that you might think Asians regard us as mentally challenged.
That said, if you literally want this thing for nothing but the rice cooking function then you might aswell just get a 30 one from Aldi.
I love my rice cooker. So simple to use and clean. Best buy for 2020.
It didn’t disappoint me when I cook the rice come out nicely and many more functions to learn.
I’ve discovered that if you boil rice in a saucepan, you’re a peasant and you’re missing out on a whole world of next level cloud nine rice.
If you know you know.
Brilliant life changing appliance! Fabulous rice every time and do brilliant it just keeps hot until u need it! Love the look of this very stylish futuristic machine.
This was bought as a Christmas present for my daughter but I was lucky enough to sample rice cooked in this twice- fantastic. Since then she has used it regularly using different rice & cooking a curry in it. She is over the moon with it- loves it.
This has been a total game changer for our family, it makes cooking rice dishes faster, tastier and all round better! The booklet included makes using the device really easy. This honestly makes rice as good as genuine Asian cuisine/takeaways.
Buy this for my wife as a Christmas present and the feed back from my wife was very positive and she loves it so on the good books rice she cooked for me with this taste good
I spent a long time choosing this rice cooker and the research paid off! We’ve had perfect rice every time- and experimented with different grains and recipes. I wish I’d bought it sooner.
Easy to use and fuss free. Early day yet for some types of rice but so far – great.
It’s our first rice cooker, and it’s spot on!
Easy to use, cook rice to perfection, couldn’t have asked any more than that.
I’m crap at doing rice. This thing makes it almost effortless to get good rice, and makes for lovely meals. It’s very easy to clean, with just a soft sponge and some washing up liquid.
Comes with its own soup ladle and rice spoon.
I’m sure I can work out how much water I need for 1 cup and manually measure that out, but without this marking, it realy should be advertised as 2-8 cups.
This was not purchased for myself but for my son. He is overjoyed with every aspect of it.
Bought as a Christmas present for my son and his Japanese partner (who knows a thing or two about cooking the perfect rice) and they are delighted with the cooker. First rate.
Looked everywhere for a rice cooker and its perfect with all the functions and steamer baske
I thought I didn’t have a problem cooking rice but this was a game changer. Perfect rice every time, probably too big for the 2 of us but always make double so we can have stir fry rice next day.
I honestly love this rice cooker. I bought it to replace an old rice cooker my dad had bought in the 80s, and this is an amazing upgrade. So far I’ve only used the rice settings, but it’s extremely user friendly and my rice has never come out tastier. Makes meal prepping sooo easy
No more stodgy rice for us, it cooks it perfectly with minimum effort and keeps it warm afterwords. What more could you ask?
Delighted with this rice cooker, lovely design, easy to use. Not only for a great range of options to cook your favourite rice but also for overnight porridge and other grains. I have yet to try all the options.
This rice cooker is amazing. Have used it a few times now and each time I get perfect rice. Gone are the days of soggy over cooked rice and hello perfect grains every time. So easy to use, just set your programme and press start and it keeps your rice warm till you are ready to eat. I absolutely love this addition to my kitchen gadgets. No more buying silly packets of pre cooked rice, clogging up landfill with packaging and in the long term saving some money. Highly recommended this if you haven’t got that message already
Absolutely worth every penny. Restaurant quality rice. Ive used it countless times and never stops surprising me. I cant reccomend this product highly enough.
Makes perfect rice every time, in a different leage compared to my old cooker.
Great piece of cooking equipment looks good as well as cooks easy to use (say no more)
Brilliant machine haven’t stopped eating rice. Super easy to use.
I have become rice snob, will never go back to previous methods to cook rice – only rice cooker going forward.
Just prep everything and leave it be. Have only tried the rice cooking on it, not steaming, but flavored rice comes through perfectly and cannot recommend this enough!
Absolutely brilliant rice cooker. Easy to use, multi function and very easy to clean. The rice comes out perfect every time, lovely and fluffy and tastier than boiling in a pan. I love the steaming basket for cooking veg, adding to the versatility of this appliance. It’s a very smart looking addition to the kitchen without being bulky. Yes, you can buy cheaper rice cookers but this is top of the range and worth every penny. Can’t recommend this highly enough.
I had been using a simple, old rice cooker for many years and was satisfied with the results. Due to wear and tear on the bowl, I decided to look for a replacement and saw several reviews for Yum Asia products so thought I buy the Sakura machine.
The quality of the machine is really good. If you have used simpler machines in the past you will notice that the inner bowl is of much higher quality, with a ceramic coating and a lot heavier. The versatility is also impressive – so far I have made rice (obviously), slow-cooked a stew, made yoghurt and baked a cake!
The main thing for me however i the quality of the rice. With Basmati rice, it is fluffy and dry without of the hard crusty bits you often get on the bottom using a simple machine. And it tastes great.
Highly recommended.
I like this because my Daughter-in Law said so! I have bought this item for her as a present. She tried it and LOVES it. She even told me her Oven is not redundant! What more can I say?
Very good quality. Had it for about 2 months now and so far so good. Lots of cook rice options but not sure if the longer cook time vs the regular cook time (about 12mins difference) makes a lot of difference to the rice quality….both very good.
The rice cooker is amazing. Its easy to clean, has a great look to it, easy controls, and it cooks PERFECT rice.
It doesnt just cooke rice either! It has settings for porridge and even yoghurt! You can cook soups in it, rice pudding and even cake!!
The instruction manual even has recipes in there for you to start off with, and even tells you how to make that really tasty sticky/gluttonous rice. It also has a section for troubleshooting, so if something went wrong with your sakura then you can refer to that for help!
I cooked a lot of rice before on the hob or in a tiny cheap rice cooker, but this has just upped my game ten fold. It even has a steam tray for steaming vegetables or eggs while you cook your rice/soup/stew/casserole etc.
I couldn’t be any happier if I tried!
This thing is a life saver for me I eat a lot of foods that go well with rice and I love making egg fried rice. I have a family of 7 and this can have 8 cups of rice in cooking at one time but I only need 4 in and there is always some left over. It has cooked my rice perfect every time apart from once but that was my fault for not rinsing my rice thoroughly before putting it in the cooker.
Cleaning is a breeze I just use warm soapy water and gently clean the copper bowl and utensils and dry them off and pop them back. I have read about the bowl sticking etc but I think this is due to users not washing the bowl correctly as per instructions or scrubbing it hard and wearing down the coating in the bowl.
I’m glad I bought it and it was expensive but when you have perfect rice all the time it’s really worth it.
Takes a couple of times to get to know which program is right for you and once you get it right, hey presto all good
When I first bought this after careful monetary consideration as the device is not cheap I was concerned that I could have continued to boil my rice in water in a pot as I have done for many years. However before I eat my food I like to have a good drink after a hard days work and not have to wait for my food when I am ready to eat. This allows me to keep my rice warm, perfectly cooked and nice and separated. Overall this is money well spent and the amount of cleaning after eating my meal is minimal.
Really simple to use, makes great rice (and also great at steaming vegetables!) and easy to clean. The rice is noticeably tastier and better textured than what we would previously have produced in a pan.
Rice comes out perfect everytime ! It’s a hefty purchase but it’s so reliable I don’t regret i
You cannot burn/underdo/overdo your rice with this. Always turns out perfect – we use ours most nights. Its more pricey – but it doesn’t spew ricey mess all over itself like cheaper units – even if you for get to turn it off, it keeps rice warm without drying out for hours. Get it.
I’ve used a standard electric rice cooker for over 15 years, The Sakura made the best home-cooked rice ever for me. Remember which way the filter comes out when you clean it or you could be stuck a long time trying to fit it back in.
I honestly don’t know how I did before… I use it almost everyday now. Rice, soups, curries. Haven’t tried the porridge or cake options just yet but I’m already really happy with it. Would definitely recommend!
This makes perfect rice possible every time. I have used other brands of rice cooker but they never worked. This one works and is worth the cost.
I have also cooked soup, porridge and cake and it was helpful to have a time delay, so I got up to a hot breakfast.
This is a compact and very versatile cooker, which is a joy to use. The lid opens a little too violently and the condensation tray handle impedes the path of the carrying handle. However, these are very minor issues and do not affect the operation of the cooker.
Blows basic rice cookers out of the water.
Easy to clean, versatile and makes the perfect rice.
Other than that, fantastic little beastie, I love the image / look of it which was probably the selling point for me over the Kado carb version (which now was probably the ideal size)
More to add once made some more rice, but first impressions good, just a little shocked over quantity sizes.
The cooker arrived on time and was very well packaged, it is very well designed and the controls are intuitive and easy to use ,it also sits neatly in the kitchen looking very much like a retro radio.
I followed the first use cleaning instructions but was nervous about the recommended half cup of rice and water so used 2 cups of out of date brown rice to clean it and threw it away, It cooked this rice to perfection which gave me the confidence to jump straight in with my adventures in Japanese cooking.
This is a great product and well worth the investment, cooks rice perfectly with no burning or residue on the bottom the pan and the warm function works great. I absolutely love it!
OK, it makes really great rice. Really really great rice. But so much more. I am making cakes and yoghurt almost daily. Even using the yoghurt to make frozen yoghurt (and I have perfected my own recipe). All so simple and everyone who has tasted the cakes and yoghurt states the best they have had. I have orders for them coming out of my eyeballs. Plus on a hot day you can bake a cake with no oven blasting out the heat (the Sakura hardly emits any heat) and cheaper on elctricity. Look online for some cake recipes, but you can also use packets mixes if needed. They all turn out great. Oh side effect, I have put on a stone in weight since I started using it as I just cannot say no.
Purchased it after our old rice cooker sadly “gave up” on us, and it was one the best purchases this year so far.. comes with clear and easy instructions how to cook certain types of rice for the best result and sure it does..also I used it to make a Japanese fluffy cheesecake that turned out to be perfect!
This ricecooker is great, easy to use and do magic with rice and not only 🙂 I wish it would have on/off button. But it’s still great.
Just great!!! My wife really loved this cocker ! The rice cocked so well and tasty, nothing to say more. Great design, very easy to handle.
We haven’t tried other programmes yet such a soup, yogurt and slow cooking but I’m sure it going to be same result!!!
Very fast delivery.
Really enjoying this rice cooker, was umming and ahhing over buying a machine with fuzzy logic tech and this doesnt disappoint. Every function works perfectly!
We upgraded to this from the cheap one I bought years ago. Vast improvement. No steam everywhere and the rice is lush.
Really enjoying not having to juggle several pans on a hob, I can just let this guy do its thing and I’ll have rice in like 40mins. No more being burned and scalded or hectic kitchens.
If you’ve thought about buying a rice cooker, just do it. I have loved this machine and rice now features in many of our meals, super easy to use and loads of features to try.
So easy to use. Perfect rice every time I have used it. Value for money as well. Buy big bag of quality rice and soon get your money back in value and quality.
Great piece of kit, doesn’t spit hot water everywhere like the cheap rice cookers.
Very happy with the product. Good price, design and quality.
Quick delivery, I received my cooker a day after I placed the order thank you seller. This rice cooker is so stylish and unique in my kitchen, it doesn’t look like a rice cooker at all I love it.
Lovely little robot should I say cook rice so fast.
I got the rice cooker in three days after I ordered
I mostly use it to cook short grain japanese rice and it works perfectly
so far this it my favourite gadget in the house
Will be using mainly as a rice cooker but not used yet.
Amazing rice cooker. Great for beginners. Makes barely any noise while cooking, no mess on the counter, super easy to clean. The rice was never this good before.
I can now make great sticky rice, it comes out the same every time…! I haven’t used it for everything it can do but so far very happy. Great build quality, instructions are ok but its all pretty simple to use.
Would recommend this to family & friends.
Absolutely love the added recipes specifically for this cooker.
Does it do it better than 10times cheaper rice cookers? Can’t say it does.
But it looks better. I sure hope it lasts longer.
Cooks perfect every time..
Can be confusing at first use …
I don’t often leave reviews but this is the best product I bought in ages. Super easy to use, great design and touchscreen is perfect. I had never used such a product before but it’s so useful and makes things so much easier, I highly recommend, worth every penny!
Love it.. makes perfect rice and soo much more definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made.
It’s really a good product. No smell of cooking rice and every time we are having a five star hotel serving.
Machine looks good on the worktop and the handle is great for moving it around. Excellent, clear instructions for rice, steaming veg and cake baking. I’ve only so far tried the rice, which after 2 attempts turned out perfectly. The first couple of times were my fault as I didn’t read the instructions properly. Very confident that any rice I cook in this machine will be perfect. The cooker is well built and a nice touch was a supplied euro plug if needed. Very highly recommended.
