Producing restaurant-quality rice at home is made easy with this small 3-cup (enough to feed 1-3 people) Zojirushi NS-LAQ05 micom fuzzy logic electric rice cooker and warmer. The NS-LAQ05 is a small cooker with an attractive, unique design of a durable clear-coated stainless steel exterior. This cooker is designed to be used on 220-240V, 50Hz power and is supplied with both EU and UK power cord and plugs. This Zojirushi model is made in China.
The NS-LAQ05 has multi-menu selections which uses Micom (micro-computerised) Fuzzy logic technology to control the temperature for the efficient cooking of many different types of rice including white, sushi, porridge and brown rice. There is also a quick cooking feature on this model. The micro computer chip inside the NS-LAQ05 automatically makes adjustments to temperature and heating time – it ensures perfect rice every time. This is what we call the ‘yum factor’
The Zojirushi NS-LAQ05 has an automatic keep-warm function, when the rice is cooked a tune is played and the cooker automatically shifts to keep warm mode. For added convenience, the NS-LAQ05 has a low light LCD display with clock and timer function (for up to 13 hours in advance), a 1.5mm Sumiflon/Teflon coated inner bowl and a convenient detachable inner lid for easy cleaning.
Please note – the LAQ05 is a very small capacity rice cooker and therefore has slightly less functions than the other models. We only recommend the LAQ05 to singles or couples who will not ever cook for anyone other than themselves.

Zojirushi rice cookers have lithium batteries that are used only for retaining timer and cooking memory for if there is a power interruption. The batteries have an estimated lifespan of around 5-10 years depending on use.
These batteries are not essential to the operation of the rice cookers but can be replaced only at authorised Zojirushi service centres if you feel you need to have it replaced. After warranty you would need to contact one of these centres if you wish the battery to be replaced.
We have no plans at all to sell Zojirushi Induction Heating models because the Zojirushi IH models for 220-240V power haven’t passed any CE safety tests for use in the UK or Europe so they therefore cannot be legally supplied within the UK or Europe, so this is why we do not supply them. Not only is there a voltage difference but there is a difference in the frequency of electricity used. The Zojirushi IH models are also very, very expensive to purchase (around £150-200 more than our conventional rice cooker models).
We do have our own branded Induction Heating rice cookers, Fuji YUM-IH07 and Bamboo YUM-IH15/2/B. These are the first IH rice cooker to be made for the UK and Europe. It has many unique rice cooking features which Yum Asia developed using our rice cooker/cooking expertise.

Fifi –
I bought a secondhand one of these 10 years ago and it’s still going strong. We use it at least twice a week. Love it!
Petr (CZ) –
The ZOJIRUSHI NS-LAQ05 rice cooker is an excellent addition to my kitchen, just the right size for 1 – 3 persons.
Yumasia services are excellent, too, many thanks. Highly recommended!
Maria (UK) –
I used to have the large rice cooker but it was too large when I was widowed, so that one went to a very grateful daughter. This one saw me through the terrible early days, I made full meals in it eg rice, frozen fish and vegetables. It is because of this facility that I survived and am well and healthy. It is a fantastic cooker and makes more than enough for one person. I still use it to make full meals and also oatmeal in the mornings, oatmeal, soya milk or normal milk and dried fruits, so I use it twice a day, quite often and at least once a day through winter. It is my absolute must have and worth every penny. The rice cooked in it is gorgeous too
Frederick (Germany) –
Happy with my purchase. I should have maybe bought the next size up as it is small but that was my fault for not checking the size guide correctly. It’s such a pleasure to be able to press one button and then without having to do anything else have satisfying rice at the perfect temperature. This is one kitchen gadget that is invaluable if you like rice and its much better than anything else in the market that I’ve tried.
H. Samuel (UK) –
This is a really small rice cooker. I knew this when I ordered, but didn’t quite expect it to be as small as it is. I was intially trying to decide between this and the Yum Asia model and kind of wish I bought the other one. Don’t get me wrong, the functions is has work well but it’s just so small.
Richard (UK) –
I’ve had my rice cooker for over 4 years and there are 2 things I feel are worth mentioning:
1) I have never had a single problem with it. In this day and age it’s a little predictable for goods to have had a few niggles by now but I can honestly say this is firing on all cylinders as well as it did the first day I got it.
2) It has MORE than paid for itself! I can understand that as the "entry level" version, £159 can seem a tad steep however do not let that put you off (if, like me, you want a decent rice cooker but are on a bit of a budget. As I say, it’s still works as if it were brand new and the convenience of having a reliable rice cooker will no doubt convince you to spend more time in the kitchen than reaching for the takeaway menu.
Eva (Estonia) –
Great product – simple to use and sturdy. I did not believe cooking rice with a machine makes such a difference! Works well for Japanese rice as well as Basmati. Great service from YumAsia too – the product arrived quickly and safely.
Antti (Finland) –
Got my cooker. Well packed and was here in Finland under a week.
Awesome rice cooker!
Karen G (UK) –
Rice cooker arrived speedily, have cooked 3 times now – twice with white rice and once with brown. On all occasions the rice has turned out perfect! I’m thrilled – no more overspill on the hob! Well worth the cost.
