About Yum Asia

NO.1 FOR PREMIUM RICE COOKERS

For many years, we, the owners of Yum Asia had been in love with Asian food but found that the biggest problem was that we couldn’t replicate the perfect rice which you can readily get in Asia and good 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 Zojirushi fuzzy logic rice cooker and it changed the way we cook completely. This is how Yum Asia began.

In the early 2000s we dreamed up the idea of introducing Zojirushi premium rice cooker technologies to the UK, Europe and where ever there was an unmet need of good rice cookers with a plentiful supply of rice lovers. We then soon realised that it wasn’t just us that had been tired of poor quality rice cookers that broke after a few uses or were too basic to meet our perfect rice cooking demands. We scaled up our operations from the UK to the whole of Europe shipping hundreds of rice cookers at a rate we sometimes struggled to keep up. 10 years later our sales were doing great but having worked with Zojirushi for so long we began to see where we could improve and build on their solid foundation. We noticed that certain functions, features, styling and price points were missing from the Zojirushi range which is why we decided to start researching and developing our own rice cookers.

After several years of trial and error we then launched our first model, Sakura, in 2016 followed by the first UMAI IH for the UK/EU markets ‘Bamboo’ in the summer of 2018. A few months later we identified the market for a mini rice cooker and so Panda was born in the autumn of 2018. Kumo our low carb rice cooker launched early 2020 for the more health conscious. . We continued in 2020 to launch Fuji (a smaller capacity IH model) and Bonsai, a portable one person bento rice cooker. Then in 2022 onwards we continue to expand our products and spread our expertise.

Our aim is always to keep our range small but powerful, to constantly develop and improve the existing models by listening to our customers and adjusting accordingly. We will never just sit on the designs we have. Instead we will innovate, lead and continue to provide the best rice cookers with the best pre and post sales service for all of our customers who want to join the Yum Asia rice cooker revolution.
